Abstract

This presentation will provide and introduction to and demonstration of Aquae Urbis Romae: the Waters of the City of Rome. Aquae Urbis Romae is a synoptic analysis of the hydrological and hydraulic history of Rome that presents water as a single continuum related to nearly 3000 years of urban development. Published a free, public, interactive World Wide Web-based cartographic encyclopedia, it is constructed around a series of original topographic maps of intramural Rome created especially for the project. The Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities at the University of Virginia (IATH) wrote the programs, constructed and hosts the web site based on original data created by the Project Director, Katherine Rinne.
