Verified profile

We know quite well the Roman aqueduct of Venafro (IS), which brought water to the city from the sources of the Volturno, with an almost completely underground path about 30 km long. The Edictum Augusti de Aquaeductu venafrano is an inscription of 69 lines divided into 4 titles. It establishes the rules on construction methods, relations with the owners of the land crossed, the distribution of water and the competent magistrates in the event of disputes. The edict was drawn up in the years between 17 and 11 BC. The plaque bearing the text had been used, in the mid-18th century, as building material in a farm; recovered in the following century, it has been kept in Venafro ever since. On the side you can recognize the pockets for housing the metal clamps that were supposed to hold the edict in place, but unfortunately there is no precise information on the structure to which it was part.
