Acquedotto Claudio

This article is a stub. You can help Assassin's Creed Wiki by expanding it.

The Acquedotto Claudia is a major aqueduct located in the city of Rome. Construction of the Aqueduct was started under the Roman Emperor Caligula in 38AD. He was assassinated however, by Leonius with a knife on the 24th January 41AD, before he could see his project to fruition. The aqueduct was later completed in 52AD under Emperor Claudius. The aquaduct went between being functional to being unused throughout the years that followed. It was restored by Emperor Vespasian in 71AD and Emperor Titus in 81AD. By the time Ezio arrived in Rome, January 1500AD, it had fallen to disrepair and became nothing more than several ruined structures in the countryside. As part of the Liberation of Rome, Ezio restored this magnificent structure, bringing water back to key areas in the city as a result.

Database Entry

One of the Ancient aqueducts that supplied the city, at its peak the Acquedotto Claudia was able to provide all 14 districts with water. The hugely relied upon source inexplicably went dry for 9 years right around the time Nero was building his modest Golden Palace. His little pet project required vast amounts of water but, luckily, the main build site was at the foot of Claudia's castellum (or storage resevoir). To this day historians are baffled as to what caused the drought. My bet: dramatic tension.

Gameplay

At serveral sections along the broken aqueduct, architects can be found which Ezio can pay to renovate that section. Once parts of the aqueduct has been rebuilt it will generate income which can be collected at a bank. The maximum income availble from renovating all 8 broken aqueducts is 880f. Acquedotto Claudia is made from 7 of the 8 broken aquaducts in Rome. 4 in the Antico District and 3 in the Campagna District.
