Online paper: Roman building services and architectural manuals: Part 2
Abstract: Looks at the fascinating subject of Roman pipework. Covers not only pipes, but also aqueducts, tunnels and siphons. Contrary to popular belief, aqueducts are not piped (except when they reach siphons) but consists of open channels and thus, like streams, they flow, rather than build up pressure. However as John shows, the Romans did use timber, terracotta and lead pipes for various purposes.
