Note on Water Measurements by Frontinus

[Much of my site will be useless to you if you've got the images turned off!]

This webpage reproduces an article
specially contributed to LacusCurtius
by its author, who has ceded it to the public domain.

This page has been carefully proofread
and I believe it to be free of errors.
If you find a mistake though,
please let me know!

Thayer's Note:

a I wish to express my thanks to the author for volunteering to write this paper specially for LacusCurtius; and he has even generously ceded it to the public domain.

Dr. Rushkin (curriculum vitae) is a physicist whose research and publications include various topics in fluid dynamics; but his interests also extend to Graeco-Roman history (see his blog), and he has several translations of ancient authors to his credit: in sum, the ideal person to address the subject of the article presented here.

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
