Anio Novus

Aqua Anio Novus was an ancient Roman aqueduct supplying the city of Rome. Like the Aqua Claudia, it was begun by emperor Caligula in 38 AD and completed in 52 AD by Claudius, who dedicated them both on August 1. The aqueduct—together with the Aqua Anio Vetus, Aqua Marcia and Aqua Claudia—is regarded as one of the four great aqueducts of Rome.
