This drawing depicts figures on the road approaching the bridge with its square crenellated tower, with the round tomb of the Plautii at the further end, and a boat on the river.
Stretching across the banks of the Anio River, the graceful seven-arched bridge of Ponte Lucano connects past and present within a storied landscape. Dating from the 1st century B.C. and extending the ancient consular road of Via Tiburtina, Ponte Lucano served the road from Tivoli to Rome until the mid-20th century. The bridge is part of an archaeological landscape that includes remains of the mausoleum of Plautii (1st century B.C.)
