Abstract
THE CITY OF ROME has had a long-standing tradition of providing each of its aqueducts with an ornamental public fountain that is specifically designated as that aqueduct's display.' Such a fountain is called a mostra in Italian, a quasi-technical term that in English often goes untranslated, or is rendered as terminal fountain. What makes a fountain a mostra is not essentially its size or splendor, but its specific designation as the fountain that is a public memorial to the whole achievement of the aqueduct (P1. 1A). Sometimes inscriptions and decoration support this designation and elaborate the achievement with information and allusion to the builder
