FOOTNOTES:
[1] There have been found at Caerwent, in Monmouthshire, clear traces
of wooden pipes (internal diameter about 2 in.) which must have
carried drinking-water, and almost certainly a pressure supply from
the surrounding hills. Some patches of lead also have been found
obviously nailed on to the pipes at points where they had burst (see
_Archaeologia_, 1908).
[2] This distance will not agree with the length given on some of the
_cippi_ (Lanciani, _Bull. Com._, 1899, 38).
[3] The course of the Aqua Claudia was considerably shortened by the
cutting of a tunnel 3 m. long under the Monte Affliano in the time of
Domitian (T. Ashby, in _Papers of the British School at Rome_, iii,

quantities of deposit and a sudden fall in the level of the channels
seems to indicate the existence of settling tanks, of which no actual
traces can be seen.
