Ponte Altinate, Roman bridge in Padua, Italy.
The Ponte Altinate spans 44.40 meters with three arches, featuring a main arch of 12.29 meters and a width of 7.77 meters.
Built during the Late Republican period in the 1st century BC, the bridge crossed a branch of the Brenta river that supported transportation in ancient Padua.
The bridge structure lies beneath the modern street Riviera del Ponti Romani, representing the evolution of Padua's urban development through centuries.
Located at the intersection with Via Altinate, the bridge remains concealed under the current pavement, while nearby Ponte San Lorenzo offers visitable access.
The bridge maintains a precise engineering ratio of 1:4 for its main arch and 1:3.7 for lateral arches, demonstrating Roman mathematical precision.
