Talk:Aqua Marcia

Unsourced speculative connection
Unfortunately, no ancient or recent modern source supports the idea that the aqueduct authorised and (maybe) part built in 179 BC but blocked by M Crassus is essentially the same as the Aqua Marcia. It's a very tempting idea, and I for one find it quite attractive, but can find reference to just one scholar who argued for it, way back in 1945, and a whole lot more who have been happy to mention and demolish it.

The work in question, or a 1943 version of the same, is available online at Bill Thayer's site I thought at first that it was independent and unrelated confirmation ... but no. Haploidavey (talk) 17:25, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
