The Pont Ambroix or Pont d'Ambrussum was a 1st-century BC Roman bridge in the south of France that was part of the Via Domitia [1]. It crossed the Vidourle at Ambrussum between today's Gallargues-le-Montueux in the Gard department and Villetelle in the Hérault department [1]. Only one of the original eleven arches remains in the middle of the river [1]. The bridge was sketched by Anne Rulman in 1620 and the drawing shows only four arches [1]. The floods of 7 September 1933 reduced the bridge from two arches to the one we see today [1].
