After boats and even mammoth fossils, the drought has allowed us to once again observe the remains of an imposing Roman bridge near the village of Gigen, in the area of the ancient city of Oescusin Bulgaria.
The structure is the so-called Constantine Bridge, built in 328 AD during the reign of Emperor Constantine I (306-337 AD).
Its construction represented a major engineering feat and facilitated connections across the lower Danube during the late Roman era.
Probably, the bridge was destroyed around 367 AD, in the context of the wars between the Romans and the Goths.
The documentation created by the Pleven museum will allow the current conditions of the remains to be recorded and compared with what is already known about the structure.
