|||
| Aqua Marcia was constructed between 144 and 140. The Aqua Marcia was the third aqueduct built by the Roman Water Works. The Aqua Marcia provided the city with clean water while they were expanding. This aqueduct had many different sources not just one river. It had several underground channels that made the waters path. The Aqua Marcia was built on both Sub-channels and Arches, empted its water into a tank like all other aqueducts. Through the buildings of the Aqua Marcia, it had many channels attached to it to move the water around. The Aqua Marcia was the longest aqueduct which spanned 91km and poured in 190,000 m3 per day. 50 miles of this aqueduct was underground, and 7 miles made up the sub terrain and arches. They made most of the aqueduct underground to protect from invaders (they were expanding their territory rapidly). |
