Castellum divisorium, Roman water distribution system in Nîmes, France
The castellum divisorium features a circular basin measuring 5.90 meters in diameter and 1.40 meters deep, with ten distribution outlets for water management.
Built in the first century AD, this water distribution point marked the end of a 50-kilometer aqueduct system that supplied water from the Eure spring to Nemausus.
The castellum divisorium demonstrates Roman engineering excellence through its precise water distribution system that supplied public fountains and various city districts.
Located at 16 rue de la Lampèze in central Nîmes, this archaeological site remains accessible to visitors throughout the year.
The structure contains lead pipes and three drainage openings at the bottom of the basin, which facilitated maintenance operations in Roman times.
