★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Un vestige particulièrement bien conservé, il s'agit du premier édifice que l'on aperçoit à l'entrée principale du site du Mont Palatin.
 A particularly well-preserved vestige, this is the first building to be seen at the main entrance to the Palatine Hill site.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Passeggiando per Via di San Gregorio, il cui tracciato passa tra il Palatino (a sinistra) ed il Celio (a destra, venendo dal Circo Massimo), si notano alcune delle arcate di un antico acquedotto romano. Già questa pittoresca visione, con l'Arco di Costantino a fare da sfondo e le arcate del Colosseo in lontananza, merita assolutamente una passeggiata in zona!
Come guida turistica locale, poi, non posso fare a meno di notare che le arcate di questo acquedotto risalgono al progetto di Claudio, imperatore dal 41 d.C. al 54 d.C., a cui dobbiamo la realizzazione di uno degli 11 acquedotti in totale di cui si dotarono i Romani per alimentare d'acqua l'Urbe.
Ebbene queste arcate appartengono ad un prolungamento dell'Acquedotto Claudio, un prolungamento probabilmente ordinato sotto Domiziano per alimentare le vasche, le piscine e tutto ciò che necessitava acqua all''interno del suo magnifico palazzo imperiale, soprattutto la parte privata che sorgeva proprio sulle pendici sud - orientale del Palatino. Magnifico
Walking along Via di San Gregorio, whose route passes between the Palatine Hill (on the left) and the Celio (on the right, coming from the Circus Maximus), you can see some of the arches of an ancient Roman aqueduct. Already this picturesque vision, with the Arch of Constantine in the background and the arches of the Colosseum in the distance, is absolutely worth a walk in the area!
As a local tour guide, then, I can't help but notice that the arches of this aqueduct date back to the project of Claudius, emperor from 41 AD. to 54 AD, to which we owe the construction of one of the 11 aqueducts in total which the Romans equipped themselves to supply water to the city.
Well these arches belong to an extension of the Claudius Aqueduct, an extension probably ordered under Domitian to feed the basins, the swimming pools and everything that needed water inside his magnificent imperial palace, especially the private part that stood right on the slopes south - east of the Palatine. Magnificent

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ L’Acquedotto Claudio ha una lunga storia di quasi 2000 anni (iniziato da Caligola nel 38 d.C.), l’acqua parte dalle vicinanze della sorgente dell’Acqua Marcia, ed era lungo quasi 70 km, diversi dei quali a cielo aperto e la maggior parte lungo canali sotterranei.
Questo che vediamo in Via di San Gregorio è uno dei prolungamenti del primo tratto originario, se pensiamo che le arcate erano alte circa 40 metri e passavano dal Palatino al Celio, viene da pensare al livello dell’ingegneria che avevano raggiunto i romani già nel I secolo d.C.
The Claudio Aqueduct has a long history of almost 2000 years (started by Caligola in 38 AD), the water starts from the vicinity of the Acqua Marcia source, and was almost 70 km long, several of which in the open air and most starts along underground channels.
This that we see in Via di San Gregorio is one of the extensions of the first original stretch, if we think that the arches were about 40 meters high and passed from the Palatine to the Celio, one thinks of the level of engineering that the Romans had already reached in the 1st century AD

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was looking for an aqueduct and this one was really close to the Roman Forum! It’s really neat how the Romans used these to pump water into their city centres. You can spot it by walking inside Palatine hill.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This was the highest aquaeduct they ever built in Rome. Height of the arches in Rome 30m!!!! Length 67km constantly decreasing in height by about 1 degree. Amount of water per day: 190000 cbm. Enough for 1 million people...You can see the Caelean hill on the other side of the street and a ruin at its top, the Dolabella-Arch. Yes, they brought the water from there..
