Years: 98 - 98

Nerva, whose public works are few because his reign is brief, instead completes projects that had been initiated under Flavian rule.

This include extensive repairs to the Roman road system and the expansion of the aqueducts.

The latter program is headed by the former consul Sextus Julius Frontinus, who helps to put an end to abuses.

Frontinus, water commissioner of Rome in 97 and consul in 98, describes, in his treatise De aquis urbis Romae (”Concerning the Waters of the City of Rome”), the city's aqueducts, enumerates the technical and administrative staff responsible for them, and discusses problems of maintenance.
