Those are clear half-circles, though, no, and not segmental?
How about the Roman bridge in Salamanca? Hard to see from this pic whether they are half circles or segmental, but I'll try to dig up more:

Question: What is the ratio of span to rise in a segmental arch of 140 degree? Obviously, in a 180 degree semicircular arch the ratio would be 2:1 (2 x radius : 1 x radius), but what is a general formula for converting degrees into span to rise ratio?

Interim report: You will find the earliest segmental arch bridges - worldwide - here: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kategorie: ... r%C3%BCcke
They are Roman.
