The Aqua Claudia in Rome
Josephus Augustus Knip, c. 1809 - c. 1812
Scattered throughout the ancient city centre of Rome are the remains of the Aqua Claudia. Constructed in the 1st century AD, this aqueduct provided drinking water to large parts of the city. Knip drew the spot where the aqueduct is built over an old city gate not far from the basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo.
