Drought in Rome reveals remains of ancient Nero's bridge in the Tiber
A prolonged drought has caused the water level of the Tiber River in Rome to drop significantly, exposing the remains of an ancient structure known as Nero's bridge. The ruins are normally submerged and only become visible under such conditions.
A long-lasting drought in Rome has uncovered a piece of the city's ancient past that is usually hidden beneath the water. The level of the Tiber River has dropped considerably in recent times, allowing the remains of an antique structure known as Nero's bridge to resurface.
Fragments of this historic construction are typically submerged and only become visible when the river's water level falls below a certain point. The current drought has created conditions under which the ancient bridge remains have once again become visible to Rome's residents and visitors.
The remains of Nero's bridge are among the many monuments from the ancient Roman era that testify to the city's rich history along the banks of the Tiber.
