Pietra Dell’Oglio (bridge) — by Tom Elliott — last modified Nov 10, 2024 10:34 AM

A Roman bridge crossing the Aufidus (modern Ofanto) river at the border between the modern Italian provinces of Campania and Basilicata. The bridge is one of two candidate identifications for the "Pons Aufidi" shown on the Peutinger map (the Ponte S. Venere), a possibility bolstered by recent comparative archaeological studies of the two bridges. The Pietra Dell'Oglio remains in use today for the Strada Comunale Fs di Monteverde, which connects to the Strada Statale 401 dir dell'Alto Ofanto e del Vulture at the southeast end of the bridge.

Ponte S. Venere — by I.E.M. Edlund Berry — last modified Oct 14, 2023 04:10 PM

A much-repaired medieval bridge crossing the Aufidus (modern Ofanto) river. Long a traditional candidate location for the "Pons Aufidi" shown on the Peutinger map (thus BAtlas), recent survey work has found no evidence in the area consistent with a Roman-era bridge. The Pietra Dell'Oglio bridge (further south on the Ofanto) is of Roman date and now a more likely candidate. The Ponte S. Venere remains in use today for the Strada Statale 303.
