  • 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.
