| Summary |
Bridge the gap between the ancient and modern worlds withℓAncient Roman Bridges and Aqueducts: An Architectural Collection. The Roman empire was responsible for hundreds of bridges, many of which are mostly or entirely ruined today. However, some are still standing strong in a testament to the immense engineering capabilities of the Romans. They were the first to use concrete in bridges, and they popularized the now-standard arch bridge style. See examples of their feats from Italy, Spain, France and Turkey. In addition to enjoying the aesthetically pleasing look of the bridges, this Anthology has over 70 historical items, including images, books and documents to explore why these bridges were important politically and historically. |
