5. Ciminia, another name for the Sabbatina [X.], according to Onuphrius Panvinius; but the sources of the Sabbatina are very distant from the Monte Cimino. Ciminia is perhaps written for Curtia, another source of the Claudia; but again, this does not account for another of the nineteen streams. 6. Damnata. This may be the stream that comes from the Quirinal and the Palatine, and which formed the lake of Curtius, whence it was conveyed into the Cloaca Maxima, as it still is. It was therefore _condemned_ to serve for washing out a drain only. There is reason to believe that some of these nineteen streams are the natural watercourses, and others merely branches from the great aqueducts, as has been said. There were 1,452 _lacus_, that is wells, or cisterns of water, supplied by the aqueducts in Rome, according to the _Horum Breviarium_ of the _Notitia_, or Catalogue of the fourth century, and they must in many instances have been very near together. A reservoir for the distribution of the water was almost a necessary termination of an aqueduct, and at a junction it was equally necessary. Rutilius describes the aqueducts about A.D. 417, in such terms as shew that they were not destroyed in the first siege of the Goths[208]. Cassiodorus represents them as perfect, about twenty years before the siege carried on by Vitiges[209]. At the time of the siege by that king, Procopius (i. 19), writing in the sixth century, records only the fourteen aqueducts already mentioned[210]. APPENDIX.—AQUEDUCTS.
