Sein erstes Buch \u201ePublic Needs and Private Pleasure: Water Distribution, the Tiber River, and the Urban Development of Ancient Rome\u201c (2000), befasste sich mit den Fluss\u00fcberquerungen der antiken Aqu\u00e4dukte der Stadt und ihren Auswirkungen auf die Stadtentwicklung und Infrastruktur. Ein weiteres Buch \u201eRoman Builders: A Study in Architectural Process\u201c untersuchte r\u00f6mische Monumentalbauten aus logistischer und kognitiver Perspektive. Zwischen 2009 und 2021 leitete er das Aqua Traiana Project, das die Wasservorkommen des 109 n. Chr. eingeweihten Trajans-Aqu\u00e4dukts f\u00fcr Rom untersuchte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rabun Taylor \u00fcber seinen Vortrag:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Frontinus&#8217; \u201eDe aquaeductu urbis Romae\u201c ist ein zutiefst politisches Dokument, das zum Teil geschrieben wurde, um Kaiser Nerva in einer gef\u00e4hrlichen Zeit des dynastischen Bruchs und der Unsicherheit am kaiserlichen Hof zu unterst\u00fctzen. Als hoch angesehener Senator war Frontinus eine Schl\u00fcsselfigur sowohl bei der Legitimierung der Herrschaft Nervas als auch bei der Planung der Nachfolge durch Trajan. Seine Rolle als curator aquarum passte ebenfalls zu dieser Aufgabe. Nach dem Aufstand der Pr\u00e4torianer im Sommer 97 n. Chr. gewannen seine Reformen des Aqu\u00e4duktsystems an Bedeutung. Er fand Wege, Wasser als Mittel einzusetzen, um die Meinung des Senats zugunsten von Nerva und bis zum Herbst desselben Jahres zugunsten von Trajan zu beeinflussen. Dabei f\u00fchrte er Reformen und Erweiterungen des Systems fort, die unter dem letzten flavischen Kaiser Domitian begonnen worden waren. Die gro\u00dfen Aqu\u00e4duktprojekte, die Domitian begonnen hatte &#8211; darunter, wie man annimmt, auch die fr\u00fchen Phasen der Aqua Traiana &#8211; besch\u00e4ftigten Frontinus&#8217; Wasserm\u00e4nner, als er sein Amt antrat. Dies veranlasste ihn, ihre Bem\u00fchungen um Domitians Projekte au\u00dferhalb der Stadt als geringf\u00fcgigen Diebstahl und Korruption darzustellen. Er setzte wahrscheinlich die fr\u00fchen Arbeiten an der Aqua Traiana aus, f\u00fchrte aber fortgeschrittenere Projekte fort, die eine schnellere politische Belohnung versprachen.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die Zugangsdaten f\u00fcr das Online-Meeting (ZOOM) lauten wie folgt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/j\/87933930044?pwd=dlk4REZ4S0NnL3k2RGN2TVdtZTd3Zz09\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/j\/87933930044?pwd=dlk4REZ4S0NnL3k2RGN2TVdtZTd3Zz09<\/a><br><br>Meeting-ID: 879 3393 0044<br>Kenncode: 631844<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die Einladung als Dokument k\u00f6nnen Sie auf dem folgenden Button<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>herunterladen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Herzliche Einladung zum Online-Vortrag (ZOOM) am 12.03.2026, 18.00 Uhr (MEZ)Prof. Rabun Taylor, PhD (USA)Frontinus, Nerva and the Politics of Water(Vortrag in Englisch) Rabun Taylor ist Professor f\u00fcr Klassische Arch\u00e4ologie an der University of Texas in Austin.
