Pont Ambroix

The Pont Ambroix or Pont d'Ambrussum (French for "Ambrussum Bridge") is a 1st century BC Roman bridge in the south of France which was part of the Via Domitia. It crossed the Vidourle at Ambrussum, between today's Gallargues-le-Montueux in the Gard department and Villetelle in the Hérault department. Today, only a single arch in the middle of the river remains.
