This article appears in Volume V01, Page 757 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ALM-ANC
ALSIETINUS LACUS (mod. Lago di Martignano) , a small lake in southern
Etruria
 , 15 m. due N.N.W. of Rome, in an
extinct
 
crater
 .
Augustus
  drew from it the Aqua Alsietina; the water was hardly fit to drink, and was mainly intended to
supply
  his naumachia (lake made for a sham naval
battle
 ) at Rome, near S.
Francesco
  a Ripa, on the right bank of the Tiber, where some traces of the aqueduct were perhaps found in 1720. The course of the aqueduct, which was mainly subterranean, is practically unknown:
Frontinus
  tells us that it received a branch from the lake of Bracciano near Careiae (Galera): and an inscription relating to it was found in this
district
  in 1887 (F. Barnabei, Notizie degli Scavi, 1887, 18r).
