Milvian Bridge
Highlight • Bridge
It was built where the river entered the ancient city of Rome from the north: today the urbanized territory extends for many kilometers beyond. It was built along the route of the Via Flaminia and Cassia, as an obligatory passage to head north, and the Via Clodia and Veientana also converged there. The Romans popularly call it the Mollo bridge due to its peculiarity: when the Tiber is in flood it is the first bridge to be submerged.
The first mention of the bridge dates back to 207 BC, in relation to the return from the Battle of Metauro during the Second Punic War. The bridge must have still been made of wood at this time and its construction must be attributed to a Molvius (belonging to the Molvia gens, attested by sources).

Roman Boundary Stone on the Tiber
Highlight • Historical Site
P(ublius) SERVILIVS C(ai) F(ilius) ISAVRICVSM(arcus) VALERIVS M(arci) F(ilius) MESSALL(A)CENS(ores)EX S(enatus) C(onsulto)TERMINAVERVNT
Italian Translation:
Publius Servilius Isauricus, son of Gaius, and Marcus Valerius Messalla, son of Marcus, censors, by decree of the Senate, set the boundaries.
This stone is a historical testimony of an important public work carried out in Rome.
The two individuals mentioned, Publius Servilius Vatia Isauricus and Marcus Valerius Messalla Niger, were two important Roman politicians who jointly held the office of censors in 55 BC.
The inscription commemorates the act by which the censors, acting on an official mandate from the Roman Senate (`EX S.C.`), delimited a public area. The verb `TERMINAVERVNT` indicates the action of “setting the limits”, that is, of fixing the boundaries of a public property to distinguish it from private ones and prevent its illegal occupation.
This type of boundary stone was commonly used to mark the banks of the Tiber River in Rome. Their function was to define the insurmountable limit within which it was forbidden to build private buildings, to guarantee the free public use of the river and prevent flooding caused by illegal constructions. Abbreviations such as `P.` (Publius), `M.` (Marcus), `F.` (Filius) and `S.C.` (Senatus Consulto) are typical of Latin inscriptions to save space.
