The Anio novus (“New Aniene”), like the Claudian aqueduct, was begun by Caligula in 38 and finished by Claudius in 52. It collected the waters in the upper Aniene valley, hence the name, to which it came the adjective “novus” was added to distinguish it from the other Anio aqueduct, about three centuries older, which from then on was called “vetus”.
Here three arches still standing near the Via Empolitana and a 600 meter stretch of ruins.
