Aicher's book provides something that has not previously been available and does it with thoroughness, readability, and accuracy...Aicher's guide deserves much praise and is remarkably useful. He has earned the thanks of all who love the ruderi of Rome and of the Campagna for making one class of ruins far more readily accessible and intelligible. Anyone wanting to visit the aqueducts from now on must use it; any teacher wishing to present Roman hydraulic engineering -- one of the greatest achievements of Roman technology -- to her or his students would be well-advised to start here.
