Ponte Salario in the Gothic Wars

[sonic]

I think maybe Bury believed that the bridge was fortified by Belisarius prior to the siege of Rome, and that it was then destroyed by Witigis as he crossed it. Later, the 'Pons Salarius' (the bridge where the Via Salaria crosses over the river Anio) was rebuilt and a parapet added by Narses in the year 565 (ref. Fauber, Narses Hammer of the Goths p.147.)

For the inscription, see Bury, [url:2t2j815y]http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/secondary/BURLAT/19D*.html#note126[/url]

Possibly two different traditions of building at the same bridge?
