GermanyThe Roman Bridge (Römerbrücke) spans the Moselle in Trier, Germany [1]. Its nine stone pillars date to the 2nd century AD, replacing wooden predecessors from at least 17 BC [1] [2]. It is Germany's oldest standing bridge and the oldest Roman bridge north of the Alps [1] [2]. Roman visitors tossed coins into the river for good luck; experts estimate around one million coins may lie in the riverbed [1] [3]. The superstructure was rebuilt [1] [2]. Since 1986, the bridge has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of Trier's Roman monuments [1] [4].
