Abstract :
Despite the frequent documentation of water supply and drainage facilities in macella – Roman meat and fish markets – research has generally paid little attention to them, ignoring their descriptions and failing to analyse their function. This study attempts to systematise the water-related structures cited in the literature, in addition to some reflections on the management and uses of water in those commercial areas.
