<P> The fountain at the junction of three roads ( tre vie ) marks the terminal point of the `` modern '' Acqua Vergine , the revived Aqua Virgo , one of the aqueducts that supplied water to ancient Rome . In 19 BC , supposedly with the help of a virgin , Roman technicians located a source of pure water some 13 km ( 8.1 mi ) from the city . ( This scene is presented on the present fountain 's façade . ) However , the eventual indirect route of the aqueduct made its length some 22 km ( 14 mi ) . This Aqua Virgo led the water into the Baths of Agrippa . It served Rome for more than 400 years . </P>
