Anio

or, anciently, Anien. A river rising in the mountains of the Hernici, near Treba, which, after receiving the brook Digentia, forms at Tibur beautiful water-falls, and flows into the Tiber three miles above Rome. The water of the Anio was conveyed to Rome by two aqueducts—the Anio vetus and Anio novus.
