A prolonged drought in Rome has caused the water level of the Tiber River to drop significantly, revealing the remains of an ancient bridge known as Nero's Bridge. The bridge, which once connected the center of Rome with the right bank of the river, is estimated to have been built during the reign of Emperor Caligula, predating Emperor Nero. Archaeologists believe the bridge dates back to around 39 AD. The reappearance of the ancient ruins serves as a stark reminder of the severe drought that Rome is currently facing, with the flow of the Tiber decreased to less than 80 cubic meters per second, approximately half of the historical average for July.
