Ponte romano di Rieti, Roman bridge in Rieti, Italy.
The limestone structure spans 38.9 meters across the Velino River with three arches, constructed using the opus quadratum technique.
The bridge formed part of the Via Salaria after the Roman conquest of Sabina in the third century BC and underwent restoration by Emperor Claudius in 42 AD.
The structure represents a significant example of Roman engineering methods and served as the main connection point between Rome and the Sabine territories.
The original bridge was replaced in 1939 by a concrete structure, and its archaeological remains now rest in the riverbed beside the modern crossing.
During the Middle Ages, the bridge received fortification towers to enhance the defense capabilities of Rieti against potential invasions.
