- Abstract
This book by Saskia Kerschbaum provides a comprehensive study of the construction of aqueducts in Asia Minor during the Roman Empire. The book is based on epigraphic evidence, as well as some literary and archaeological sources. It is a lengthy volume, consisting of nine primary chapters and four additional sections, and includes a massive bibliography. The book explores various aspects of aqueduct construction, including the actors involved, the cultural significance of aqueducts, and their impact on urban development.
