Cosenza – Hannibal’s bridge over the Savuto river
Proyecto vinculado: Cannae, Capua, Crotone: 15 years that changed history
In Scigliano, a small village in the province of Cosenza (Calabria) the Savuto River can be crossed via the so-called Hannibal's Bridge or St. Angelo Bridge.
Various archaeological findings show that the bridge, in its current form, was built between 131 and 121 BCE. The bridge was part of the Via Popilia, constructed under the orders of Consul Publius Popilius Laenas to connect present-day Reggio Calabria to Capua. The bridge was destroyed by the Romans themselves during Hannibal's defeat to block his escape to the ships waiting for him. However, it was later rebuilt using the same materials and architectural design by the men of the Carthaginian general to allow his army to pass.
In October 2024, a historical reenactment in costume of the epic battle between Hannibal and the Roman army was held in the area near the bridge, aiming to bring attention to a lesser-known chapter of Roman history.
