guy Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) I forgot that Pompey had gotten to Georgia during the Mithradratic Wars. Quote “Pompey's Bridge is an ancient Roman bridge located in Mtskheta-Mtianeti region of Georgia. The bridge was built during Pompey's campaign in Iberia and Colchis which took place in 65 BC. The bridge was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 as part of the historical monuments of Mtskheta.” Quote ”The opening of floodgates at a Soviet-era hydroelectric dam north of Tbilisi has lowered the waters of the Mtkvari River, exposing a bridge across an ancient crossing point for archaeologists to study.” ”The remnants of the bridge usually are submerged and invisible beneath the surface of the river that runs through Georgia’s ancient capital of Mtskheta.” https://www.rferl.org/a/ancient-bridge-georgia-mtkvari-pompey-mtskheta/31282768.html Edited October 11, 2021 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
