Aqua pro Vita – die Wasserversorgung nordafrikanischer Provinzen von der Quelle bis zur Stadt

This study reveals that the water supply systems of North African provinces, particularly during Roman times, exhibit distinct characteristics compared to other regions of the Roman Empire. The research focuses on aqueducts and their sources, analyzing whether significant differences exist in North Africa's infrastructure. By comparing sites like Dougga (Thugga) with well-documented examples such as Karthago (Carthage) and others across Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, and Morocco, the study highlights gaps in existing literature while providing a comprehensive overview of pre-Roman and Roman water management techniques. The findings suggest that North African aqueducts, though less studied, played a crucial role in urban development but differed in design or scale from their counterparts in Europe or Asia Minor.
