# The Alcántara bridge is completed as a tagged Trajanic Tagus crossing in Lusitania

Date: 106

## The fact

About 106 the Alcántara bridge over the Tagus was completed with an inscription naming [Trajan](/people/trajan) and Gaius Julius Lacer. It is a dated Hispanic road-bridge, not the Danube pontoon-and-pier of the Dacian wars. Trajan’s documented role is: The bridge inscription names Trajan and the architect Gaius Julius Lacer. Local municipalities subscribed; he did not cut every voussoir. Do not twin this with Apollodorus’s Danube bridge. Two rivers, two structures. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear. Trajan's documented role is: The bridge inscription names Trajan and the architect Gaius Julius Lacer. Local municipalities subscribed; he did not cut every voussoir.

## Context

Unnamed clerks, soldiers, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. The instrument stays The Alcántara bridge is completed as a tagged Trajanic Tagus crossing in Lusitania. The setting of The Alcántara bridge is completed as a tagged Trajanic Tagus crossing in Lusitania is the public file around 0106-01-15.
