Andrej Gaspari: Water in Roman Emona
Scholarly monograph
A scholarly monograph on the development of the water supply system and communal infrastructure of Roman cities: the case of Colonia Iulia Emona.
This richly illustrated monograph offers a systematic and visually engaging archaeological journey tracing the remains of carefully planned Roman water management – from deep and flowing wells to aqueducts and water troughs, and finally to drainage and sewerage systems. In terms of water infrastructure, the ancient Romans were true masters, surpassing other peoples of their time and many generations that followed. Numerous written sources attest to their strong awareness of the importance of providing clean, high-quality drinking water and the relatively high level of hygiene associated with it. These aspects are particularly evident in the archaeological remains, including those discovered in the area of Emona. The book represents a significant contribution to Slovenian archaeology and, through its approach, offers engaging reading for all curious and inquisitive readers.
