“…Most publications in this category are fairly recent, since they tend to depend on modern GIS. An early example is Maktav et al (2009). This is a study of the Constantinople aqueduct system building on the original archaeological survey work of Çeçen (1996).…”

Hydraulic engineering analysis of Roman water infrastructure: a review of practice and possibilities

et al. 2021

A short review is presented covering English-language publications where quantitative engineering analysis has been used to study and gain insight into how ancient Roman and Mediterranean water systems functioned. The review covers work on using technical engineering perspectives to try and understand the geometrical layout of water systems, quantitative work of a type readily accomplished by undergraduate civil engineering students, such as calculating the flow capacity of aqueducts and other conduits of known dimensions, and more involved studies using computational techniques usually applied by specialist engineers in research or industry. It is concluded that the many different levels of analyses employed have given insight into how Roman water systems worked, for example the amount of water they delivered, and the kinds of issues their designers and operators might have faced. It is hoped that this review will inspire further interdisciplinary study in Archaeohydrology, using modern engineering techniques to amplify and extend the story of Roman water systems told by archaeologists.

A hydrological and hydraulic engineering analysis has been carried out on the Valens aqueduct system constructed from around AD 345 and serving Constantinople. A GIS analysis of previous field observations combined with a digital elevation model confirmed the aqueduct’s likely route and slope. Macrophysical Climate Modelling revealed that contemporary weather data was an appropriate proxy for the time of the aqueduct’s construction, and modern flow data was obtained for some of the springs that fed the aqueduct. Existing, previously documented remains, especially at intakes, were considered, and the industry standard software HEC–RAS was used to simulate the performance of the aqueduct system with a view to understanding the amount of water it could have delivered to the city, the seasonal variation in supply and the most likely configuration of the aqueduct, where this was not clear from existing archaeology. It was concluded that the most likely configuration for the aqueduct system was a fourth and a fifth century channel continuing separately and in parallel to the city walls, which might have delivered flow the range of 0.73 m3/s in the driest month of October to 1.73 m3/s in the wettest month of March over an average year.

“…The arrival of the new waters was reported 37 in historical sources in 373 AD (Donaldson 1996, 54), and recent studies have suggested that the 38 total length of this fourth-century aqueduct was over 270 km (Snyder 2013). Around thirty years 39 later, the water supply started to be extended to exploit higher springs from the NW of Vize, with 40 a new fifth-century aqueduct over 180 km long. The resulting water infrastructure was an intricate 41 network of channels and bridges which continued to operate -with occasional disruptions -across 42 the early and middle Byzantine era, until the mid-twelfth century, when it was reported to have 43 been abandoned due to cumulative damage and decay (Crow et al 2008, 21).…”

16Despite the extensive archaeological surveys carried out in the last decades, little attention has been paid to 17 one of the longest water supply systems of ancient times -the Byzantine water infrastructure which fed 18Constantinople from the mid-late fourth century AD. This work uses modern satellite terrain data and 19Global Positioning System (GPS) data to assess this system and provide an improved description of its 20 route, total length and gradient profile. 44 validated GPS Control Points were correlated with ASTER 21 GDEM V2 digital satellite data and archaeological information in a Geographic Information System (GIS) 22 environment. We concluded that the total length of the water supply system was 426 km, and possibly even 29Keywords
