IMP.VESP.VIIII.T.IMP.VII.COS.CN.IULIO.AGRICOLA.LEG.AUG.PR.PR. ( (made) when the Emperor Vespasian was consul for the ninth time and the Emperor Titus was consul for the seventh time, when Gnaeus Iulius Agricola was imperial governor (of Britain)).

thanks for the explaination. I thought the Agricola part meant it was for farming or something

Funny enough, there was a recurring problem of farmers illegally tapping into aqueducts for irrigation. It was permitted with permission, but many would quietly do it without paying the local government for the right to tap it, lmao.

… Legate and a mission about people stealing water for crops?

Is this new vegas?

Lew Tenant is behind it, I just know it…






Needs a zoom-out, or something to grant greater perspective, with respect.
