On Thursday, 2nd May 2013, in a place called ‘Punta di Lu Cappottu’, close to the outskirts of Porto Torres (Sassari, Sardinia), it has been found a new stretch of the roman aqueduct which water supplied the ancient colonia of Turris Libisonis. The new part is 106 m. long and consists of a vertical inspection shaft (lumen), an underground specus and an uncovered channel with rectangular settling basin (piscina limaria) used to control and rid the water of the sediments. Very recently has been investigated an unknown strecth starting from the vertical inspection shaft and going to N-NE direction. This study summarizes some preliminary results concerning the discovery and proposes new hypothesis about the roman aqueduct’s course.
