De Aquis Urbis Romae Libri II, written in Latin by Sextus Julius Frontinus and edited by Franz Bücheler, is a seminal work on the water supply system of ancient Rome. Frontinus, who served as the water commissioner (curator aquarum) in the late first century AD, provides a detailed account of the aqueducts, their construction, maintenance, and the laws governing their use. This book offers invaluable insights into Roman engineering prowess and the sophisticated infrastructure that supported the empire's capital. Bücheler's edition presents the original text with scholarly annotations, making it an essential resource for classicists, historians of technology, and anyone interested in the history of urban development. The work remains a key primary source for understanding Roman society and its practical achievements.
