dc.descriptionLocal Information: The remains of the bridge are located on both sides of the Ciğlek Deresi, a dry dere that runs north–south and connects to the Kepiz Çayı to the south.

dc.descriptionDescription: Preservation: The arch of the bridge has collapsed, leaving two piers standing on either side of the Cig˘lek Deresi. The upper portions of the bridge have fallen as well, and the upstream (north) side of the piers is more heavily damaged than the downstream side, leaving a scatter of mortared rubble on the ground below. The west pier is better preserved than the east, which has preserved facing blocks mostly on the south side and only a few facing blocks in situ on its west and north faces. No clear trace of conduit remains, but its elevation can be reconstructed using the conduit section exposed nearby (E034, E035). ** Construction: The bridge is constructed of mortared rubble faced with petit appareil masonry. The facing blocks are carved from sandy conglomerate rock, fieldstones of quartz, and low-grade, gray-blue marble, all leveled with small chinking stones. The facing blocks are 0.15–0.60 m long and 0.15–0.30 m high. The blocks and rubble core are bonded with pink-beige lime mortar with stone inclusions smaller than 0.01 m. The blocks of the leveling course are 0.60–0.80 m long and 0.25–0.30 m high and are carved exclusively of low-grade, gray-blue marble. ** Description: The Roman bridge is preserved to a height of 9 m, a width of 5.2 m, and a length of 42 m. The base of the west pier is 5.2 m wide and is founded on an outcrop of sandy conglomerate rock. Approximately 18 courses up (3.6 m) from the base of the west pier is a leveling course. The arch originally spanned approximately 6.2 m to cross the dere.en_US
