Frontinus, De aquaeductu urbis Romae (On the Water Supply of the City of Rome)

evidence

Frontinus, as curator aquarum, describes the aqueducts serving Rome, their sources, lengths, administration, maintenance staff and the fraud he found in illegal tapping. It is the empire's clearest surviving evidence that infrastructure was run by an accountable civil office with records, not merely built.

A evidence is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
