The Acqua Marcia was an aqueduct located in the Italian city of Rome.
History
This aqueduct is located in the Campagna district of Rome. Combined with Acqua Antoniniana there are 3 sections of broken aqueducts that can be renovated by Architects. Once parts of the aqueduct have been rebuilt, they will generate income which can be collected at a bank. The maximum income availble from renovating all 8 broken aqueducts is 880f.[1]
The Acqua Marcia begins at the Porta Salaria and is the only aqueduct to fork in two directions. The second channel of this section is the Acqua Antoninia.
Database Entry
This impressive system was the longest of the 11 Roman Aqueducts, running a staggering 91 miles. Built between 144 - 140 B.C.E., the aqueduct was named for its creator, praetor Qunitus Marcius Rex.
It was maintained and even expanded for the better part of 200 years, but, typical of any free public service, by Nero's reign so many people siphoned water out of it for personal use the flow was barely a trickle by the time it arrived in the city.[1]
