The Roman Bridge at Mérida

This is one of four films on the Roman Remains of Mérida in Spain. It covers mainly the impressive Roman bridge there, the longest one in the world that survives from ancient times. Next it passes on to the columns of the Temple of Diana that once formed a part of the Roman Forum, and then on to the Hippodrome, or the Circus Maximus, as the Romans called it, whose scant remains are all that are left of a truly gigantic edifice. For completeness, several lesser traces of the Roman occupation are shown, as well as some of the important finds housed in Merida's National Museum of Roman Art.
