Heatwave reveals 2000-year-old Roman bridge
The high temperatures and the long, dry summer season contributed to the emergence of ancient Roman bridge remains over the Tiber River in Rome for the first time since 2022. This was due to the water level dropping to less than half its normal average, revealing parts of the old structure and leading to the appearance of objects such as electric bikes and old cars in the upper reaches of the river. It is believed that the bridge, known as "Neron's Bridge," was built around 39 AD, linking it to the "Campus Martius" area, which was the home of Nero's Circus. This discovery is one of the rare finds that provided scientists with an opportunity to study the structure.
