Line 71: [[Marco Formisano]] noted in ''[[The Classical Review]]'' that due to the complex textual history of the ''De Aquaeductu Urbis Romae'', it had received four editions in the twentieth century alone, but Rodgers's comprehensive commentary was the first since the Italian engineer [[Giovanni Poleni]]'s edition of 1722. Combined with the very competent re-editing, this made Rodgers's edition the likely future reference edition of the work. Formisano wished, however, that Rodgers had done more to put the text in the context of the debate about the position of Roman technical literature that had been taking place in scholarly circles in the twentieth century.<ref>[https://www.jstor.org/stable/3873555 Review: ''Frontinus.

Reviewing the text for ''[[Gnomon (journal)\|Gnomon]]'', David Butterfield appreciated the boldness with which Rodgers had crafted his "radical" version with over 350 new conjectures including more than 200 emendations of the ''Res Rustica''.<ref name=but/> But he also noted that Rodgers had been more conservative with the ''Liber de Arboribus'' by adopting the view of [[Will Richter]]<ref>German teacher and classical philologist (1910-1984).</ref> that the work is of uncertain authorship, rather than a juvenile work of Columella.<ref name=but>[https://www.jstor.org/stable/23502225 Review: ''L.
