p. 118 The surviving Aqueduct bridge spanning the valley between the fourth and third Hills, carried a water channel at an elevation of about 56-57 m above sea level and enabled the high-level channel to supply the higher ground towards the Forum of Theodosius and the nearby Constantianae and Carosianae Baths, as well as the nymphaeum in Region X and ultimately the ‘castellum aquae’ at the Binbirdirek cistern. The bridge is 971 m long and ate the lower west end the width is 3.40, broadening over the higher double arcade to 5.65 over Pier 25.
