2,000-year-old bridge reappears in Rome as drought-hit Tiber River exposes ancient ruins of Nero’s Bridge

Rome’s Tiber River has reached unusually low levels due to a severe heatwave. This drought has exposed the remains of a nearly 2,000-year-old bridge. The structure, known as Nero’s Bridge, was built under Emperor Caligula around 39 AD. Archaeologists now have a rare opportunity to study the ancient Roman bridge up close. This event highlights the increasing frequency of dry summers impacting historical sites.
