Title A name given to the resource 13th-Century Flood Marker Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Francesca Arcidiacono (2016) Description An account of the resource Before the embankment project of the late 19th century, flooding of the Tiber river was a fact of Roman life. Built on a natural floodplain, Rome would experienced catastrophic floods at least twice per century. Waters would engulf houses and buildings, and flood fields and farms, leaving destruction, famine, and disease as they receded. While records of the floods of late antiquity survive mainly in the Liber Pontificalis, stone plaques indicating the heights and dates of floods came into use in the medieval period and exist throughout the city. The earliest surviving plaque can be found under an archway on the Via dell'Arco dei Banchi, across the river from the Castel Sant'Angelo. A marble slab is embedded in the side of the now heavily-restored archway and records the height of a flood that occurred on November 6, 1277. While the script is stylized, one can clearly make out the words Huc Tiber accessit ("To here the Tiber came") right above the line indicating the flood level. Abstract A summary of the resource. A marble slab is embedded in the side of the now heavily-restored archway and records the height of a flood that occurred on November 6, 1277. While the script is stylized, one can clearly make out the words Huc Tiber accessit ("To here the Tiber came") right above the line indicating the flood level.
