An Entity of Type: Arch bridge, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Penkalas Bridge is a Roman bridge over the Penkalas (today Kocaçay), a small tributary of the Rhyndakos (Adırnas Çayı), in Aezani, Asia Minor (Çavdarhisar in present-day Turkey). The 2nd-century AD structure was once one of four ancient bridges in Aezani and is assumed to have been the most important crossing-point due to its central location in the vicinity of the Zeus temple and the direct access it provided to the Roman road to Cotyaeum (Kütahya). According to reports by European travellers, the ancient parapet remained in use as late as 1829, having been replaced today by an iron railing.

dbo:abstract
  • Die Penkalasbrücke ist eine römische Brücke über den Penkalas (heute ), einen kleinen Zufluss des Kocaçay (Rhyndakos), im kleinasiatischen Aizanoi (Çavdarhisar in der Türkei). Die fünfbögige Steinbrücke aus dem 2. Jahrhundert n. Chr. ist eine von ehemals vier Römerbrücken in Aizanoi und dürfte in der Antike aufgrund ihrer zentralen Lage in der Nähe des Zeus-Heiligtums und der direkten Anbindung an die Fernstraße nach Kotiaion (heutiges Kütahya) der bedeutendste Flussübergang gewesen sein. Die antike Brüstung blieb nach Berichten früher europäischer Forschungsreisender bis mindestens 1829 erhalten und ist heute durch ein wenig ansehnliches Eisengeländer ersetzt. Ca. 290 m flussabwärts führt eine weitere gut erhaltene antike Brücke über den Penkalas, die in fast identischer Weise ausgeführt ist. (de)

Around 290 m upstream, another well-preserved, almost identical five-arched Roman bridge leads across the Penkalas. (en)
  • Il ponte sul Penkalas è un ponte romano sul Penkalas (oggi Kocaçay), un piccolo affluente del (Adırnas Çayı), ad Aezani, in Asia Minore (oggi Çavdarhisar, nell'odierna Turchia). La struttura del II secolo d.C. era un tempo uno dei quattro antichi ponti di Aezani, e si presume che fosse il punto di passaggio più importante per la sua posizione centrale nelle vicinanze del tempio di Zeus e per l'accesso diretto che forniva alla strada romana per Cotyaeum (Kütahya). Secondo quanto riferito dai viaggiatori europei, l'antico parapetto rimase in uso fino al 1829, e purtroppo oggi è stato sostituito da una antiestetica ringhiera in ferro. Circa 290 metri a monte, un altro ponte romano a cinque arcate ben conservato, quasi identico, attraversa il Penkalas. (it)
