Caesar's Bridge

 
Posted by Picasa


This is one view of "Caesar's Bridge" that the legions built across the Rhenus (Rhine) River. It was built for the purpose of putting the Roman Army across the river to show the Germanic Tribes that it could be done by the Romans. Two weeks after it was built, the army recrossed the bridge and then destroyed it.

This is a very good drawing of a large stone Roman bridge is being constructed.

Roman Single Arch Bridge

This is a Roman Single Arch Bridge that was drawn from an actual Roman Bridge found in Andalucia, Spain, in a farmer's field. The modern road bypasses the bridge, but it is still used by the farmer. This bridge is found on the highway between Puerto de Santa Maria, and Jerez de la Frontera.
