FR Oui, je sais les rommains n'étaient plus là au XVIIIe siècle mais c'est le nom que lui donne l'IGN et l'organisme qui gère les monuments historiques alors que sur place, on le nomme "Pont du la Baou" et que les archives indiquent bien que la décision de la construction de ce dernier date du 4 janvier 1740.
Le pont romain, il y en a bien eu un, a été détruit pour la construction de la route D4100. Il n'était pas protégé et a pu être détruit dans l'indifférence des monuments historiques.
