AQUA´RII
AQUA´RII were slaves who carried water for bathing,
&c. into the female apartments: they were also called
aquarioli, and were held in great contempt. (
Juv. 6.332; Paul. Diac. s. v. and
Müller's Note; Hieron.
Ep. 27; Jul. Paul. 3.6, 58.)
The name was also applied to slaves who had the care of the fountains and
ponds in gardens. (Becker-Göll,
Gallus, iii. p. 74; Marquardt,
Röm.
Alterth. vii. p. 139.) The aquarii were also public officers who
attended to the aqueducts under the aediles, and afterwards under the
curatores aquarum. (
