ROMAN BRIDGES

Returning to Aleppo by Azaz, a few kilometres away from Cyrrhus, the two magnificent Roman bridges of the th century and their progress in triangular shape. The modern road still borrows them. We have to imagine relatively busy roads. The Roman roads continue by means of trails further afield in the steppe. A horse travelled at the time 30 km a day and a donkey 15 km; thus, des were successive on these axes at a maximum distance of 15 km. Also not far from Azaz remains tracks of the mythical East-Express.
