    Awesome video, thank you! As an American, I can't even imagine what it is like to walk over complete bridges that old. The Roman Era truly was unbelievable!

      Yes it’s simply amazing!! Please check out our other videos - and suggest new topics. We are happy to share antiquity in the Empire

    I’ve been fortunate enough to have walked across or seen many of these bridges myself. Never ceases to amaze.

      And so much history AFTER the Romans - we can revisit these sites many times. But we agree with you - it’s amazing to use them in 2022!

    Great video. I seen all those Roman bridges in Rome. But you missed one of the all time greats. If you have not seen it’s magnificence . You really need to. Pont Du Gard. Used by traffic until the 1950s. I think it is the greatest.

      Pont su Gard is an aqueduct bridge primarily … yes it includes a vehicular bridge -but we disqualified it from our list for that reason ✌️

    I’m in awe of Roman engineering and building techniques. To think that such brilliance was lost to most humans in the known world for centuries is heartbreaking. Imagine what feats of engineering and technology would be ours today if the western Roman Empire hadn’t fallen in the 5th century!

    So glad to see you have visited Serbia!👏 My country has so much more to offer to people who are interested in the history of Ancient Rome both to see and to explore. Regards.

      Yes! @dariusArya was there filming a whole series on the Roman Empire on @wondrium. Check it out!

    The Roman military engineering tradition continues.... During World War II, the Italian Army had some of the best military engineers in the war. The old Italian Army gets a lot of bad press, but they were far more effective, and far more courageous than people realize. Rommel's Africa Corps could not have survived without them.

      Thank you. Yes, we like this one. Darius travels around a lot- so a lot of original footage- still, we had to include a lot from Rome!

    During the medieval times, the Danube still had the piers above the sea water. The Otomans were puzzled on what on earth was that and who could build this. Roman engineering was something else.

      Such a great loss-but we are happy at least some has been preserved!

    I doubt that the bridges that we build today would hold up as well, or for half as long as all of the bridges you mention. The amazing amount of skill and engineering in each of them is just amazing. Keep up the good work.

    You should do Trier, Germany and the gold hoard found there.

    I didn’t know they had spray paint in Ancient Rome with which to paint graffiti on ancient structures.

    I rather look at the bridges than at the presenter who uses up a lot of face time.

    Just cannot listen to the abysmal pronunciation of all these beautiful historic names or modern locales. Yukh.

    Hey Darius! I have one more: What about the bridge in Rimini dating back to . I think - the age of Augustus? Cars still driving over that one too. And it is in great shape.

    • @AncientRomeLive
      @AncientRomeLive  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is one to film in the future! Great site!

    Darius, thank you once again for an informative and fascinating video! I am so glad there are persons such as yourself doing such great documentary work. I wish I could travel all the time and see all the places you visit in person, but your videos are the next best thing to being there.

      Hop over to our most recent AQUEDUCT video, in which we feature it. We discussed it as aqueduct and not bridge!
