dc.description | Description: Preservation: Both piers of the bridge remain standing, but only the lower nine courses can be securely identified as part of the original Roman aqueduct bridge. The top courses have been refashioned into an open conduit coated in white waterproofing mortar, perhaps in association with a series of Ottoman mills that used to be in service in the area. ** Construction: The bridge is constructed of mortared rubble faced with petit appareil masonry of roughly worked blocks of schist and quartz about 0.20–0.30 m long and 0.15–0.20 m high, leveled with chinking stones and bonded with a beige lime mortar with stone inclusions smaller than 0.02 m. ** Description: The bridge survives to a height of 3 m and is 3.20 m wide. The total length of the bridge is about 9 m, and the distance between the piers is 2.7 m. The open conduit is 1.5–1.7 m wide and 0.8 m deep. Additional masonry, possibly for buttressing the bridge, is joined to the downstream (south) side of the piers. | en_US |
