BRIDGES IN ANCIENT GREECE

,

Bridges united the world, contributed to the spread of civilization and the development of all kinds of relations, but they also facilitated wars… The above reasons and causes, but also man, a being that loves to explore by nature, wanted to conquer the far shore -all these led to the discovery of the bridge. Timidly at first, using a tree trunk or stones, people crossed streams and small rivers for the first time. Today, when we talk about cable bridges, such a concept seems simplistic. It was simply the beginning of today’s bridge-building. How much have the Greeks contributed to the evolution of this technique? What did they hand over to the Romans who left their magnificent bridges wherever they passed from? Why were bridges so legendary once? The author, through field research and careful study, has managed to collect the data that make up this volume and presents us the techniques and all the obstacles the ancient Greeks faced in their river crossings.
