“…This is at its clearest with aqueducts and much archaeological energy has gone into finding their alignments (Ortloff and Crouch 2001) exploring their administration (Hodge 1992) and calculating flow and distribution mechanisms (Hodge 1984, Taylor 1997. Many issues remain unresolved: how much was the state involved in the process (Evans 1982, Bruun 1991 and did they transform water supply across the board or only for restricted sections of society? Clearly, however, re-organising water supply was part of the Augustan remaking of Rome.…”

This article critically evaluates how far the interpretation of archaeological evidence has been aided by the recent 'materialist turn' in social theory. This perspective, linked to the work of Bruno Latour, argues that we should give agency to not only humans but also to cultural objects and environmental processes. It thus increasingly influences archaeological interpretation. By considering how water supply has been theorised in the Roman World, then setting such theories against evidence for two wells from a landscape near York, I argue that we should retain a distinction between human agents and natural processes. The implication is that Latour's stance, by failing to provide a social context for interaction between culture and nature, is problematic for archaeological understanding. In contrast, I suggest, Marxist analytical tools provide a more vibrant way forward in explaining both past developments and present climate crises.

Satire's Censorial Waters in Horace and Juvenal

This paper concerns the water imagery of two iconic passages of Roman satire: Horace's figuration of Lucilius as a river churning with mud atSat.1.4.11, and the transformation of that image at Juvenal,Sat.3.62–8 (the Orontes flowing into the Tiber). It posits new ways of reckoning with the codifications and further potentials of these images by establishing points of contact with the workings of water in the Roman world. The main point of reference will be to the work of Rome's censors, who were charged not only with protecting the moral health of the state, but with ensuring the purity and abundance of the city's water supply as well.
