To all Romanians or Visitors of the Turnu Severin Museum
#1
Hello,

I have a request to all Romanian members or those who are going to visit the museum in Turnu Severin at the Danube at the so-called Iron Gate. In that museum there is a large scale model of the Trajan's Bridge. That bridge is possibly immensely important for the history of bridge building because it may not only have been one of the longest bridges prior to the industrialization, but because I suspect that it is the first segmental arch bridge of the world, albeit made of wood.

Unfortunately, there are no good pics in the internet to be found. Those three I found are too small and do not show the flat arches of the bridge adequately. So, in case you may plan to visit the museum (or have already done so), I would be most grateful if you can grab your camera and make a couple of shots from the bridge and let me know.

Thanks and kind regards
Stefan
