Fabrician Bridge (Pons Fabricius), located in Rome, is the oldest surviving bridge over the Tiber and one of the oldest continuously used bridges in the world. Built in 62 BCE by Lucius Fabricius, it connects the Tiber Island with the left bank of the river and has survived almost untouched for over two thousand years.
Its stone structure, 62 meters long and 5.5 meters wide, consists of two arches and solid pillars that have repeatedly resisted the waters of the Tiber. An interesting fact is that the bridge is also called the “Bridge of Four Heads” (Ponte Quattro Capi), which refers to the stone sculptures of heads placed on its barriers; they were supposed to be the heads of Janus, the god of beginnings and transitions, with two faces.
Near the bridge, there is the Theater of Marcellus and the Forum Holitorium.
