Popis: This paper extends a previous paper [1], collecting and comparing material on a further selection of Roman buildingservices – timber flumes, water supply tunnels, inverted water supply siphons, terracotta water pipes, and theanalemma – across architectural manuals from the Roman and Renaissance periods. Transmission between thesemanuals, of ideas about these building services, is considered. Comparison is again made with the architecturalrecord, to determine the extent to which these ideas were put into practice, and whether the manuals had a role inthis. The two papers could be read together. Refereed/Peer-reviewed
