The Castellum divisorium de Nîmes, located in Nîmes, France, is a remarkable Roman structure that served as a water distribution hub in ancient times. This well-preserved monument dates back to the 1st century AD and was part of a sophisticated aqueduct system that brought water from the nearby Uzès spring to the city of Nîmes. The castellum is a circular basin made of stone, approximately 5.9 meters in diameter, featuring multiple exit channels that distributed water throughout the city for public baths, fountains, and private households.
