Restant aquaduct van Mogontiacum

The stone remnants of the ancient Roman aqueduct stretch across nine kilometers through the modern city of Mainz, displaying advanced engineering techniques.

Constructed after 70 CE by soldiers from the First Legion Adiutrix and Fourteenth Legion Gemina, the aqueduct supplied water to the military base of Mogontiacum.

The remnants demonstrate Roman engineering practices, featuring stone arches and water channels that transported water from Finthen springs to public bathhouses.

Located along An den Römersteinen street, visitors can examine the remaining stone structures that exemplify Roman architectural methods and water management systems.

The archaeological site contains preserved sections of the original water supply infrastructure that connected multiple springs to sustain the Roman settlement.
