One of the three aqueducts built by the Romans in Poitiers, a city on the Clain river in west-central France. Founded by the Celtic tribe of the Pictones, it as known as the oppidum Lemonum before Roman influence. The extensive ensemble of Roman constructions suggests Poitiers was a town of first importance, possibly even the capital of the Roman province of Gallia Aquitania during the 2nd century.
