Aqueducts of Rome was written by Sextus Julius Frontinus, a civil engineer in Rome in the first century CE. Aqueducts of Rome was written to be sent as a report on the current state of the aqueducts to the Emperor at that time. The report mentions the history of the aqueducts and gives in-depth descriptions on their designs and technical specifications.
