Scope and Content The original description in the catalogue reads: "Bridges of Justinian over the Sangarios: a great structure of nine arches: the roadway is absolutely horizontal. In 1908 the bridge was passable though the roadway was in bad repair. The semi-circular defensive spurs should face up-stream, but when photograph (b) was taken the current was creeping the other way."
