The problem of the public water supply is essential in Roman history. This theme is not deeply studied regards its juridical aspects in Late Antiquity. Here two imperial laws are examined: the first of them, C.T.15.2.8, sent unexpectedly to praefectus praetorio Messala, treats of the repression of unlawful derivations in the restored aqueduct Aqua Augusta; the second one, C.11.43.6, reserves the water of Aqua Hadriana (in Constantinople), mainly destinated to Imperial Palace, only also to public baths and Achilles’ thermal baths. The imperial laws show their interest for big towns and strategical areas, often forgetting countryside’s necessities.

Abstract

The problem of the public water supply is essential in Roman history. This theme is not deeply studied regards its juridical aspects in Late Antiquity. Here two imperial laws are examined: the first of them, C.T.15.2.8, sent unexpectedly to praefectus praetorio Messala, treats of the repression of unlawful derivations in the restored aqueduct Aqua Augusta; the second one, C.11.43.6, reserves the water of Aqua Hadriana (in Constantinople), mainly destinated to Imperial Palace, only also to public baths and Achilles’ thermal baths. The imperial laws show their interest for big towns and strategical areas, often forgetting countryside’s necessities.
