Le réseau hydraulique à Pompéi (Italie) de l’époque des Samnites à Auguste (fin ive-fin ier s. av. J.-C.) by Federico Giletti

“…In our current state of knowledge, it is possible to identify 28 wells which, though already in use in the Archaic period, were perfectly integrated into the urban organisation of the Samnite city, where they were mainly located in open spaces, at crossroads and along roads. The monumental appearance that, in some cases, frames and marks the outcropping of the deep wells, eloquently portrays the public utility function that these wells must have had in most of the attested cases.On the basis of the research, other types of cisterns in addition to water catchment wells have been identified in the earliest phases of the city of Pompeii, such as the tunnel cistern, a type that was widespread in various contexts in the ancient Tyrrhenian from the Archaic period onwards, and the so-called cylinder or bottle cistern, also evidenced in ancient times and archaeologically documented between the 4th and 3rd centuries BC in a number of Pompeian contexts. …”
