The Bridge of Justinian is a late Roman bridge that was built to improve communications between the capital Constantinople and the eastern provinces of the empire. The stone bridge rests on seven main arches. It has a length of 350m. It used to span the Sangarius river, which since has changed its course.

So while it may be a great example of late Roman architectural-engineering I can't tell at all, and it doesn't seem to be in good shape to show that off anyway.
