Aqua Anio Novus

Down-channel?

Possible remains of a corner of one of the down-channels to divert aqueduct water of the Anio
Novus into an aqueduct channel nearby. Grotte Sconce (south of Tivoli, along the Via Pomata) may
have played a crucial role in the water supply of Villa Hadriana that is just 1 km away which must
have been in great need for high volumes of clean aqueduct water.
