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, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19; ii. 67, 68, 72, 76, 81, 87, 89, 91-93, 125; Prop. iii. 2. 14; Strabo v. 3. 13. p. 240; Vitruv. viii. 3. 1; Tac.

ARTIALIS). The water was brought to the Capitol by Marcius himself in 140, Liv. Epit. Oxyrhync. 188-190: aqua Anio aqua [Marcia in Capi]tolium contra Sibyllae carmina [perductae]. It was probably a small supply, brought by a syphon; it certainly did not cross the depression between the Capitol and the Quirinal (see FORUM TRAIANI, p. 238) on arches, or something would have been said (or found) of them. and where it issued forth must have stood his statue mentioned in the diploma of Nero of 64 A.D.

NH xxxi. 42), and a further restoration was carried out by Titus in 79 A.D. (CIL vi. 1246): there is evidence of repairs by Hadrian; and others were probably made by Septimius Severus in 196 A.D. (CIL vi. 1247); while in 212-3 Caracalla cleared the springs, made some new tunnels, and added another spring, the fons Antoninianus, in connection no doubt with the construction of the branch to his thermae (ib. 1245). The aqua Marcia was joined by the AQUA TEPULA (q.v.) and the AQUA IULIA (q.v.) before the point where it emerged from its underground course, near the sixth mile of the via Latina; and their channels were carried above it on the same arches, and are to be seen in section in

y was increased by Diocletian, from whom it took the name forma Iovia (Iobia, Iopia): cf. Eins. 11. 2; 13. 22: ibi (at the porta Appia) forma Iopia quae venit de Marsia, et currit usque ad ripam. The conduit was restored by Hadrian I (LPD i. 504), Sergius II (ii. 91) and Nicolas I (ii. 154, where it occurs under the form Iocia; Tocia, which some writers have referred to the aqua Appia, is a wrong reading; cf. Duchesne, ib. 167 n. 12). And the name forma Iovia is found in documents of the tenth century relating to the territory of Tivoli (Reg. Subl. p. 36 (973), 30 (998)), though the forma quae appellatur Iovia ... foris porta maiore, via Lavicana milliario ab urbe Roma p. m. IIII in loco quae dicitur IIII 2 (quarta), ib. p. 151, must be the aqua Alexandrina (LA 315-319; LF 46; Jord. ii. 228, 229; HJ 190, 195; PBS iv. 14, 15).
