Pietra Dell’Oglio (bridge) — by Tom Elliott — last modified Jul 13, 2022 05:19 PM

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.

Pol-e Dokhtar — by Jamie Novotny — last modified Apr 16, 2022 11:12 AM

Pol-e Dokhtar (also Romanized as Pol Dokhtar and Pul-i-Dukhtar) is a city in the Lorestan Province of Iran. The ruins of a Sasanian bridge over the Kashkan River are still visible today a few kilometers north of the city; that structure was part of a Sasanian Royal road that connected the Persian capitals Istakhr and Bishapur with towns in central and northern Mesopotamia. In 1992, a horde of ancient objects were found in the nearby Cave Kalmakareh (also referred to as Cave Kalmakarra).

Pons Aufidi — by I.E.M. Edlund Berry — last modified Jul 14, 2022 04:36 PM

A Roman bridge (and possibly coincident road station) on the Via Appia over the Aufidus (modern Ofanto) river in Italy, listed on the Peutinger map and in the Antonine Itinerary. Traditionally it has been identified with a bridge known today as Ponte S. Venere, but recently archaeological work has cast doubt on this view and some scholars now favor an identification with the Ponte romano Pietra dell'Oglio, which lies about 15 miles further south and can be securely dated to the Roman period.
