The ‘Pont Flavien’ (1st century) comprises a single semicircular arch constructed with large stone blocks. Triumphal arches stand at each entrance. The inscription is slightly inexact, see (CIL, XII, n° 647)
« Hoc egressus [235] transibis pontem, cui utrinque arcus inædificatur, ipsique inscriptum : CEDONIVS C. F. FLAVIVS FLAMEN ROMAE ET AVGVSTI TESTAMENTO FIERI IVSSIT ARBITRATV CEDONEI VENAE ET ATTEI RVFI. »
= On leaving, you cross a bridge, at each end of which stands an arch bearing the following inscription: CEDONIVS C. F. FLAVIVS FLAMEN ROMAE ET AVGVSTI TESTAMENTO FIERI IVSSIT ARBITRATV CEDONEI VENAE ET ATTEI RVFI.
