Roman Pontoon Bridge

 
Posted by Picasa


This pontoon bridge features three pontoons. Three sections of the bridge do not have planking to show the underlying main baulks (wooden beams or stringers). This bridge is totally tied together with rope, and can be assembled by a skilled crew in just a few hours. The parts of the bridge could be loaded onto and carried by a section of six or seven large wagons.
