Appius Claudius Caecus
There is some disagreement as to whether the reservoir was fed by one of several springs in the immediate area or by the "aqua Appia", the first public aqueduct built by Appius Claudius Caecus. Located just inside the Porta Capena, it was the first site for both communal water distribution and sports. The aqueduct supplied water for wool processors near the "piscina".
