Aqua Tepula, Roman aqueduct in Lazio, Italy
The Aqua Tepula extends for eighteen kilometers through the Roman countryside, carrying water through an intricate system of arches and channels.
Built in 125 BC by censors Gaius Servilius Caepio and Lucius Cassius Longinus, the aqueduct distributed water from springs near the Alban Hills.
The aqueduct system demonstrates Roman engineering methods, utilizing gravity and precise gradients to transport water across varying elevations and terrains.
Visitors can access the remains of Aqua Tepula by taking Metro Line A to Giulio Agricola station and walking to the Aqueduct Park entrance.
The name Tepula derives from the constant temperature of its water source, maintaining 17 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
