The Aqueducts of Rome, written in 97-98, gives some historical details and a description of the aqueducts for the water supply of the city, with laws relating to them.$bFrontinus, Sextus Iulius, ca. 35-103 CE, was a capable Roman civil officer and military commander. Praetor of the city in 70 and consul in 73 or 74, 98 and 100, he was, about the year 76, sent to Britain as governor. He quelled the Silures of Wales, and began to build a road through their territory; his place was taken by Agricola in 78. In 97 he was given the highly esteemed office of Manager of Aqueducts at Rome. He is known to have been an augur, being succeeded by his friend Pliny the younger. The two sides of Frontinus's public career are reflected in his two surviving works. Strategemata, Stratagems, written after 84, gives examples of military stratagems from Greek and Roman history, for the instruction of Roman officers, in three books; the fourth book is concerned largely with military discipline. De Aquis urbis Romae, The Aqueducts of Rome, written in 97-98, gives some historical details and a description of the aqueducts for the water supply of the city, with laws relating to them. Frontinus aimed at being useful and writes in a rather popular style which is both simple and clear. 606 $aAqueducts$zItaly$zRome$xEarly works to 1800 606 $aMilitary art and science$xEarly works to 1800 606 $aWater-supply$xEarly works to 1800 606 $aWater-supply$zItaly$zRome$xEarly works to 1800 606 $aAqueducts$3(OCoLC)812149$2fast 606 $aMilitary art and science$3(OCoLC)1020874$2fast 606 $aWater-supply$3(OCoLC)1172350$2fast 607 $aItaly$zRome$2fast 607 $aRome (Empire)$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAqueducts$xEarly works to 1800. 615 0$aMilitary art and science$xEarly works to 1800. 615 0$aWater-supply$xEarly works to 1800. 615 0$aWater-supply$xEarly works to 1800. 615 7$aAqueducts 615 7$aMilitary art and science 615 7$aWater-supply 700 $aFrontinus$b Sextus Julius$067902 702 $aBennett$b Charles E.$g(Charles Edwin),$f1858-1921, 702 $aHerschel$b Clemens$f1842-1930, 702 $aMcElwain$b Mary B. 702 $aFrontinus$b Sextus Julius 702 $aFrontinus$b Sextus Julius 801 0$bMaCbHUP 801 2$bTLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996218335503316 996 $aStratagems$91414983 997 $aUNISA
