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. …”

Les aqueducs de Rome : les activités de la Surintendance capitoline, une contribution essentielle à la recherche by Marina Marcelli, Massimiliano Munzi
