Tyre, Lebanon
Leontes Bridge
The Leontes Bridge is a ruined Roman bridge in Lebanon; it crossed the Litani River in the vicinity of Nahr Abou Assouad, 10 km north of Tyre. The bridge, which is dated to the 3rd or 4th century AD, featured a comparatively flat arch with a span-to-rise ratio of 3.1 to 1. According to examination of modern satellite data, it appears that the Roman bridge is in fact destroyed.
