One speaks rather about the Anio (Latin form) in a context of old story, and Aniene (Italian form) in a modern geographical context.
The affluent of the Tiber
Aniene is the principal affluent of the the Tiber after the Nera.
It takes its source with Filettino, Latium, at an altitude of 1.075 Mr. His Bassin covers 1.414 km ². It is thrown in the the Tiber to approximately 6 km in the North-East of Rome.
Aqueducts and fountains
Its water formerly supplied the aqueducts of the Anio Vetus and the Anio Novus, and today still the fountains of the Villa of Este to Tivoli.
It is crossed in the North-East of Rome by the Ponte Nomentano, strengthened bridge of Roman origin, included in a park reserved to the pedestrians.
History
The Dictateur Camille beat the Gaulois on the edges of Anio in -367.
