In this site (in Italian) there's a Google Earth based map of Roman Aqueducts.
http://www.bandb-rome.it/roma_acquedotti_romani_mappa_google.html
This site is devoted to the Waters of the City of Rome
http://www3.iath.virginia.edu/waters/first.html
There is a G.I.S. timeline map that chronicles changes to the water infrastructure system from 753 BC through the sixteenth century.

I don't know if it's possible to extract shapefiles from the maps.

Hope to be useful

Any help would be appreciated.  I have a patron who is looking for shapefiles of ancient Rome, specifically the aqueduct system and possibly the path of the main drain into the Tiber River.
