guy Posted September 4, 2025 Report Share Posted September 4, 2025 (edited) A 2000-year old Roman bridge has been found in Aegerten, Switzerland. Dendrochronological techniques have dated this bridge in 49 BCE, when the Romans defeated the Helvetii. The final restorations of the bridge occurred in AD 369. A well-preserved wooden and iron plane (pictured below) was found in the oxygen-poor, damp soil that preserved the tool. https://www.heritagedaily.com/2025/09/2000-year-old-roman-bridge-found-in-aegerten/155914 https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/roman-bridge-switzerland-0022409# A post about dating wood through dendrochronology Edited September 4, 2025 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
