Acquedotto Claudio: Difference between revisions

The Acquedotto Claudia was a major aqueduct located in the Italian city of Rome.

History

Construction

Construction of the aqueduct began under the Roman Emperor Caligula in 38 C.E.. He was assassinated, however, by Leonius with a knife on January 24, 41 C.E., before he could see his project to fruition. The aqueduct was later completed in 52 C.E. under Emperor Claudius.

Restoration

The aqueduct went between being functional to being unused throughout the years that followed. It was restored by Emperor Vespasian in 71 C.E. and Emperor Titus in 81 C.E.

Trivia

At several sections along the broken aqueduct, architects can be found, for which Ezio can pay to renovate that section. Once parts of the aqueduct have been rebuilt, the structure will generate increased income; collected from a bank. The Acquedotto Claudia is made from four of the eight broken aqueducts in Rome and these four constructions are located in the Antico district.
The Acquedotto Claudia is the location of one of Subject 16's rifts.
The name Acquedotto Claudia isn't correct in Italian, as "acquedotto" is masculine and "Claudia" is feminine. In fact, in Italy the aqueduct is known, more correctly, as Acquedotto Claudio. This error probably comes from the Latin name of it: Aqua Claudia, literally Claudio's water.

By the time the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] arrived in Rome in January of 1500, it had fallen to disrepair and became nothing more than several ruined structures located 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 [[Nero's Golden Palace|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 reservoir). To this day historians are baffled as to what caused the drought. My bet: dramatic tension.''
