Ponte Sublicio, Stone bridge in Rome, Italy
The Ponte Sublicio spans 105 meters across the Tiber River, connecting Piazza dell'Emporio with Piazza di Porta Portese through its stone construction.
The original wooden bridge at this location was constructed under King Ancus Marcius between 642-617 BC, making it the first bridge built across the Tiber River.
The bridge location carried religious importance in ancient Rome, where priests performed the Lemuria ceremony by throwing straw figures into the river.
The current structure, designed by architect Marcello Piacentini in 1918, measures 20 meters in width and serves as a connection between Rioni Ripa and Trastevere districts.
The name Sublicio derives from the Volscian word sublica, meaning wooden planks, referencing the original bridge's construction material.
