Romans as ancient bridge builders and their structures
Historic interest centers on bridge construction in antiquity. Early bridges used logs or stone slabs, with later designs relying on parallel beams and flooring. Some bridges resemble a spider’s thread, secured to both shores and bearing weight by tensile strength.
