Les machines élévatrices d’eau ont été pendant longtemps méconnues dans l’Antiquité romaine car seule comptait l’eau courante et abondante amenée par les aqueducs. Pourtant de nombreux sites en ont livré plusieurs exemples depuis le xixe s., témoignages de la diversité des techniques. Ces dernières années, les découvertes se sont multipliées et permettent d’appréhender ces éléments fragiles car faisant souvent appel au bois, avec les méthodes d’étude les plus récentes. La Table-ronde organisée à Ausonius en 2003 a permis de faire le point de l’état des connaissances. In the ancient Roman world, where the plentiful supply of running water by the prestigious aqueducts was what mattered most, water-lifting devices remained largely unknown. Since the 19th century, however, a range of such devices, confirming the use of several different techniques, has been found in numerous sites. Moreover, as the number of such discoveries has increased in recent years, this has enabled the most up-to-date methods to be applied to these structures which, as wood elements are often used, are particulary fragile. Aquam in Altum Exprimere, the Round-table Study Day organized by Ausonius in 2003 has contributed to a general stocktaking of our present-day knowledge on this subject.
