The water must have been moving at a fair clip to make it over that hump!

What hump? All I see are fairly level aqueducts

To clarify, the turn on the left looks like a flat, but sharp turn. I could see why it looks like a hump but I don't think it is

What would be the pint of 2 intersecting aqueducts?

The Aqua Marcia, the lower aqueduct, was built first. When they needed another aqueduct to provide more water, they built the Aqua Claudia and just had it cross above the Aqua Marcia.

Rome had 11 aqueducts in total.

Thanks for the info, di you know which location is depicted in the image exactly?

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago

Near the Tor Fiscale, though the aqueducts are no longer extant in the state depicted.

So Arcade Fire is a band and arcade water is an aquaeduct.

One has to wonder what arcade earth and air are.
