The Triumphal Bridge is the sixteenth-century name for an ancient bridge built by Nero that connected the Field of Mars with the valley between the Vatican and the Janiculum Hill. Until the 1870s, remains of its piers still existed and could be seen when the water was low. Piranesi has recorded the masonry technique and texture of the travertine blocks of one of the piers.
