General description:
Installation for two tread-wheels with compartmented rims
there are calcareous sinter deposits on the north and south walls as a result of seepage from the reservoir.
Maybe the treader sat on a beam level with the wheel axle and worked the treads with hands and feet.
the structure may have used some time in Julio-Claudian foundations, but the main lines date to the middle of the second century
