Not many of us know that the Greeks and Romans were capable engineers. They made remarkable machines, not bettered until the Industrial Revolution. Perhaps the greatest achievement of the Romans was their water engineering, with aqueducts to carry water for miles to feed their complex municipal plumbing systems. In this fascinating study Dr Landels draws on evidence from archaeological and literary sources as well as his own engineering knowledge, to show how these machines were developed and made. Illustrated throughout with explanatory line drawings. 224pp. (1999) 216 × 140mm ISBN 81 7371 228 X
