AQUEDUCTS ABOVE SUBIACO

ANIO NOVUS, THE THIRD LOCH

ANIO NOVUS, SPECUS CUT IN THE CLIFF

1. Anio Novus, the third Loch, as seen from below, where the dam, that formerly kept up the water and formed a great cascade, has been thrown down, and appears only as rocks in the stream; the modern bridge seen in this view is built upon the two ends of the old dam.

2. Anio Novus, Specus. The specus is here a tunnel cut in the cliff, on the side of the valley on which the town of Subiaco stands; it is six feet high, and only eighteen inches wide (an opening into it may be seen in the cliff, on the left-hand side of the view). The round tower, seen on the right, is that of the Villa Gori, about a mile above Subiaco.
