Oil Neighbourhood ox R o m e. 217- On our way to Palaeftrina we faw the lake Regillus, famous for the apparition of Caftor and Pollux, who were here (cen to give their horfes drink after the battle between the Romans and the fon-in-law of Tarquin. At fome-diftance from ic we had a view of the Lacus Gabinus, that is much larger than the former. We left the road for about half a mile to fee the fources of a modern aqueduct. It is entertaining to obferve how the little fprings and rills, that brea...k out of the fides of the moun- tain, are gleaned up, and conveyed through little covered channels intothe main hollow of the aque- duct. It was certainly very lucky for Rome, feeing it had occafion for fo many aqueducts, that there chanced to be fuch a range of mountains within its neighbourhood. For by this means they could take up their water from what height they pleafed, with- out the expence of fuch an engine as that of Marli. Thus the Claudian aqueduct run thirty-eight miles, and funk after the proportion of five foot and a, hal£ tveiy mile, by the advantage only of a high fource and the low fituation of Rome.
