AQUA MARCIA
* constructed in 144-140 B.C. by Q. Marcius Rex, the water
being brought to the Capitol in the latter year. He had been commissioned
by the senate to repair the Appia and Anio (Plin. NH xxxvi. 121, who
wrongly adds the Tepula, constructed in 127 B.C.). The total cost was
180,000,000 sesterces or £1,800,000 sterling (Frontinus, de aquis i. 4, 7, 9,

Censorinus (circa 87 B.C.; BM Rep. i. 301. 2419), and five arches on coins
of L. Marcius Philippus (ib. 485. 3890-5).
It was repaired by Agrippa in 33 B.C. and again by Augustus, with
the rest of the aqueducts, between
