Ponte Maggiore, Roman bridge in Ascoli Piceno, Italy.
The Ponte Maggiore extends 105 meters across the landscape with a central arch spanning 22 meters and reaches a height of 52 meters above ground level.
Emperor Augustus ordered the construction of Ponte Maggiore during the 1st century BC to establish a connection between the provinces of Ascoli and Fermo.
The bridge represents Roman engineering excellence through its Opus quadratum technique, using precisely fitted travertine blocks assembled without mortar to create a lasting structure.
Visitors can access the bridge from the historic center of Ascoli Piceno, where they can observe both the architectural details and view the surrounding landscape.
The structure maintains its original Roman construction while incorporating modern reinforcements added during the 1929-1938 restoration to support current traffic needs.
