It's absolutely beautifully amazing what the Romans, and even other ancient civilizations accomplished! Now us modern humans, with all the help we get from our lazy technology and crane lifts, makes us look like sissies! We truly are... :roll: Only us historians are the only ones who can appreciate what they've done and see what the modern world has become :-P
But yes very very nice pictures, there isn't a river there under the bridge anymore or never was? Just a method of transport? The aqueduct is....stunning, those giant arches and strong structures look intimidating! I hope I get to see them one day. I could never appreciate Hadrian's wall as it was literally maybe 2 feet tall, and thanks to the people robbing it of it's bricks and stones, reduced to nothing. I doubt it could even keep a baby from climbing from one side to the other ad:
