English description: The abundance of water in Roman cities was celebrated already in antiquity and became manifest in numerous different buildings. The present study discusses public and private fountains, important waterworks, which ensured most of the drinking and service water supply in ancient cities. Deep wells, cisterns and fountains in selected cities of the western half of the Roman Empire will be examined in a comparative analysis. Written sources, in addition to the archaeological record, provide important insights into the symbolic signification of running water and the assessment of ground- and rainwater. The examination of both material and written sources enables a comprehensive survey of the usage of various sources of water from the republican to the imperial period. German description: Der Wasserreichtum romischer Stadte wurde bereits in der Antike gefeiert und manifestierte sich in einer Fulle unterschiedlicher Bauten. Das vorliegende Buch widmet sich mit den offentlichen und privaten Brunnen einer wichtigen Gruppe von Wasserversorgungsanlagen, die in der antiken Stadt einen Grossteil der Trink- und Brauchwasserversorgung sicherstellten. Dabei werden Tiefbrunnen, Zisternen und Laufbrunnen ausgewahlter Stadte im Westen des romischen Reiches untersucht und vergleichend analysiert. Neben den archaologischen Befunden uberliefern die Schriftquellen wertvolle Informationen zum Symbolwert des Leitungswassers und zur Bewertung von Grund- und Regenwasser. Durch diese Methodenkombination entsteht ein umfassender Uberblick uber die Nutzung der verschiedenen Wasserressourcen von der romischen Republik bis in die Kaiserzeit.
