## Image Caption

[Roman](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Roman/) bridge over the [Rubicon](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Rubicon/) river located in Savignano sul Rubicone. The Rubicon has been one of the world’s most famous rivers ever since [Julius Caesar](https://www.worldhistory.org/Julius_Caesar/) crossed it in 49 BCE. However the bridge does not date from [Caesar](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/caesar/)'s times. It was probably built during the reign of [Augustus](https://www.worldhistory.org/augustus/) of [Tiberius](https://www.worldhistory.org/Tiberius/) (1st century CE).
