The truth is that progress can be rapid when you are filling a vacuum; and a vacuum is a fairly good description of our present technical knowledge of Roman hydraulics. The scholars feel an urgent, even desperate, need for an encyclopaedia of Roman hydraulic technology and engineering. No such work, ancient or modern, exists, but the need is shown by their readiness to fall upon anything resembling one and treating it as if it were.2
