The only one of the three Roman bridges which subsisted was swept away by a flood in 1651
« Pons Rhodano instratus sat altus, sat longus est, à Tiberio Graccho, cùm expeditionem in Galiam faceret, structus ann. Ab. V. C. DLXXVI, munitusque ad utrumque extremum duabus arcibus. »
= The bridge over the Rhone is rather high and rather long. It was built by Tiberius Gracchus, during a trip he made in Gaul, in 576 AUC; it is protected by two fortresses which stand at either entrance
