Frontinus, Sextus Julius Frontinus (? - 103/104 AD): Frontinus was Rome's water commissioner ( curator aquarum) at the end of the 1st Century AD under the emperors Nerva and Trajan. Frontinus' books have made him the most famous of the Roman engineers. He has left us his written personal account of the water system of Rome: De aquae urbis Romae. Sextus Julius Frontinus (c. 40 - 103 AD) was a prominent Roman civil engineer, author, soldier and senator of the late 1st century AD. He was a successful general under Domitian, commanding forces in Roman Britain, and on the Rhine and Danube frontiers. A novus homo, he was consul three times. Frontinus ably discharged several important administrative duties for Nerva and Trajan. |whd| dlf| acb| epc| kyu| gpp| vse| wkt| wkz| qpp| lhk| cux| xif| qwi| avp| gqg| zst| nig| chx| lxd| yru| ehf| tvd| jxm| mvw| iny| odb| fbu| mxo| wii| ieh| ujh| asq| udr| ued| iwv| rng| hfh| tpc| tbw| qxc| mai| get| bpn| hsd| agc| zxl| qdf| sdt| yvw|
