Aquae Urbis Romae: The Waters of the City of Rome -- IATH [VRML, Quicktime, Java] http://www.iath.virginia.edu/waters/ IATH Research Reports, Sixth Series (1998) http://www.iath.virginia.edu/reports.html
Aquae Urbis Romae: The Waters of the City of Rome, a project directed by Katherin Wentworth Rinne, is a comprehensive cartographic study that chronicles the 2,800-year history of the urban and hydrological developments of Rome, with an emphasis on the relationship between water systems and public life. This extensive Website, which continues to grow, functions as an interactive archive of the cartographic materials created specifically for the study. The site includes a timeline section, tracking hydrological developments through a series of iterative maps; a typology section, allowing users to build maps based on layers of typological data; and a topography section, permitting users to view historical 3D representations of Rome. The project has also recently released a report as part of the sixth annual series of research reports published by the Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities (IATH) at the University of Virginia (described in the December 16, 1994 Scout Report). Other IATH projects in the 1998 research report series include: "Monuments and Dust: The Culture of Victorian London" by Michael Levenson, "Patterns of Reconstruction at Pompeii" by Kirk Martini, and "The Salisbury Project" by Marion E. Roberts.
