"Roman Bridges is the first single volume in English offering a systematic treatment of Roman bridges, of all types, throughout the empire. O'Connor is an engineer himself, with considerable experience in bridge design and history, and hence he offers a valuable perspective on Roman bridges, which can be sensed throughout his book."
