Les changements hydromorphologiques de l’estuaire de la Loire et l’évolution du port de Rezé/Ratiatum (Loire-Atlantique) by Rémy Arthuis

“…In 2005, when a major research programme was initiated with the aim of investigating the ancient district of Saint-Lupien and its supposed port, little was known about the Loire river landscapes and the dynamics of the river during Antiquity was in its infancy. On-site archaeological and environmental studies, and those developed in parallel on the lower Loire, both as part of two collective research programmes (PCR) that succeeded each other between 2005 and 2015, and during a documentary study carried out in 2019, made it possible to describe the geomorphological entities present in the ancient Loire landscape (islands, channels and alluvial plains) and provided a fairly fine resolution on the hydrological evolution of the lower Loire from the Bronze Age to the present day. …”

Les siphons en terre cuite du monde romain : l’exemple de l’aqueduc d’Almuñécar (Andalousie, Espagne) by Elena H. Sánchez López

“…From the analysis of this structure, both through archaeological remains and medieval descriptions of the city, we can conclude that the siphon system had two remarkable technical peculiarities: it was a double siphon, where the two sections connected through a columnaria, an air elimination device located at the most problematic point in the layout of the water piping; and the pressure pipes were made of terracotta.The chosen material matched the recommendations made by Vitruvius, since he concluded that, by comparison with lead pipes, terracotta pipes were cheaper, faster to repair, and guaranteed higher quality water.Despite Vitruvius’ advice, terracotta pipes do not seem to have been the favourite choice of Roman engineers, who also used lead and stone pipes. …”
