[QUOTE="Herodotus, post: 6437471, member: 111387"]The answer is not set in stone. There is no verifiable proof that any construction of an aqueduct was started at the time that M. Aemilius Lepidus and M. Fulvius Nobilior were censors, only that is was contemplated and contracts were being drafted at the time. The suggestion that construction had started w/ the hope of Crassus’ later approval (to allow for a right of way through his property) is mere speculation by the author at best. The surviving documentation states that the project was blocked. Later on in the article, the author declares it as pertinent evidence that the project had laid partially completed and unfinished for 30+ years(once again, no actual record of) to further bolster his claims. Having not been swayed by the opinions, nor the conclusions expressed by the writer in the article, I’m still gonna lean towards the bridge that also bears the familial name of the moneyer. You do you. No offense intended.[/QUOTE]
