L’acquedotto Alessandrino (Aqua Alexandrina), l’undicesimo acquedotto dell’antica Roma, venne edificato nel 226 d.C. dall’imperatore Alessandro Severo (11 marzo 222 – 19 marzo 235).(NUSRACQ806 – Tor Pignattara)/ The Aqua Alexandrina (Italian: Acquedotto alessandrino) was a Roman aqueduct located in the city of Rome. The 22.4 km long aqueduct carried water from Pantano Borghese to the Baths of Alexander on the Campus Martius. (NUSRACQ806 – Tor Pignattara) – Wikipedia
(“This aquedecut received its water from the Pantano Borghese swamp near the city of Gabii, now a part of Monte Compatri. The same spring has supplied the Acqua Felice since 1586. The first 6.4 km of the total 22.4 km were tunnelled underground, later run on the surface and 2.4 km was carried on brick arches traversing the valleys of the Roman Campagna.
Some of its last section inside the city remains uncertain but the aqueduct entered the city at Porta Maggiore and ended on the Campus Martius at the Thermae of Alexander, between the Pantheon and the Piazza Navona. (Wikipedia)”)
