List of Roman bridges

The Romans were the world's first major bridge builders. The following list constitutes an attempt to list all known Roman bridges, many of which still survive to this day.

A Roman bridge in the sense of this article includes any of these features:

Roman arches
Roman pillars
Roman fundament
Roman abutments
Roman roadway
Roman cutwaters

Also listed are bridges which feature substantially Roman material (Spolia), as long as the later bridge is erected on the site of a Roman precursor. Finally, incidences where only excavated bridge inscriptions lay testimony to the existence of a now perished Roman bridge are also included.

In the following, bridges are classified either according to their material or their function. All data not otherwise marked comes from O’Connor's Roman Bridges.

Note on classification

Bridges are particularly difficult to classify as they, more than other structures, are subject to wear, war and the impact of natural elements. The constant need for repairs through the ages has often turned bridges into hybrid structures, which make it often difficult or nearly impossible to determine the exact date and origin of individual parts of a bridge. Thus, the majority of the bridges listed below can be assumed to include medieval or (early) modern modifications, replacements or extensions, to a small or large extent.

Masonry bridges

Below bridges out of stone or brick. The vast majority features arches, although stone deck slabs were also known. Concerning the bridges' spans and height: S = small, M = middle and L = large.

Timber & stone pillar bridges

A timber bridge is a structure composed wholly out of wood, while a stone pillar bridge features a wooden superstructure resting on stone pillars. Strictly speaking, many bridges of the second type should be rather called "concrete pillar bridges", as the Romans preferably used opus caementicium for constructing their bridge piers (stone was confined in these cases to covering). Both types, timber bridges and stone respectively concrete pillar bridges, are listed here in the same category as historically, with the consolidation of Roman power in the newly conquered provinces, wooden bridges often gave way to solid pillar bridges.

Pontoon bridges

As an alternative to ferry services, the Roman army often made use of pontoon bridges, along with timber structures, for river crossings. They usually consisted of boats lashed together, with the bows pointing towards the current. Permanent bridges of boats were also commonly set up for civilian traffic.
