Pont Flavien

The Pont Flavien is a single-arch Roman bridge spanning the River Touloubre in Saint-Chamas, southern France, built from limestone around 12 BC during the Augustan period [1]. It carried the Via Julia Augusta between Placentia, Italy and Arles [1]. It is the only surviving example of a Roman bridge bounded by triumphal arches from the Augustan period [1]. Similar bridges probably existed elsewhere, as indicated by portrayals on coins of the late 1st century BC [1].
