PONS CALIGULAE

a foot bridge built by Caligula over the temple of Augustus and across the valley between the Palatine and Capitoline, to connect his own palace with the temple of Jupiter Capitolinus (Suet. Cal. 22). This was removed after his death, and nothing is known of its size or appearance (HJ 85; LR 125 ; Pagan and Christian Rome 101-102; Mitt. 1893, 264; see DOMUS TIBERIANA).
