| dbo:abstract | The Ain Diwar Bridge, also known as the Zangid Bridge, is a ruined masonry arch bridge, 3.5 km northeast of the town of Ain Diwar, Syria. The bridge is within vicinity of the Syria, Iraq and Turkey border region and about 500 m west of the Tigris River of which it used to cross. The Ain Diwar bridge was built in the 2nd century by the Romans to give them access to Upper Mesopotamia. The Romans also previously set up the Bezabde Camp (modern day Cizre, Turkey) nearby. It was refurbished by the Seljuks and Arabs in the late 12th or early 13th century. The Ain Diwar Bridge is often referred to as a great example of Islamic architecture and civil engineering. Stone carvings on the bridge depict astrological figures, zodiac signs and cavalrymen, which are attributed to Roman architecture. However, the structure is listed neither by O'Connor nor Galliazzo in their comprehensive surveys of Roman bridges. (en) El puente romano de Ain Diwar es un arco romano en ruinas a 3.5 nordeste de km de la ciudad de Ain Diwar, Siria. El puente se encuentra tocando con la frontera turca y cerca a la iraquí, a 500 m del río Tigris, el río que solía cruzar antiguamente. Este puente fue construido en el siglo II e.c. por los romanos para darles acceso a la banda oriental de Anatolia. Los romanos también fundaron el asentamiento Bezabde (el moderno Cizre, al otro lado de la frontera con Turquía). Fue refundado por losselyúcidas y los árabes a finales del siglo XII o finales del XIII. El puente de Ain Diwar se presenta a menudo como gran ejemplo de arquitectura islámica e ingeniería civil pero las tallas en el puente nunca han sido estudiadas en detalle. Las tallas en la piedra describen figuras astrológicas, señales del zodíaco y caballería que se atribuyen a la arquitectura Romana. La estructura no está listada ni por O'Connor (1993) ni por Galliazzo (1994) en sus inventarios comprehensivos de puentes romanos. (es) Il ponte romano di Ain Diwar (in arabo: ﻋﻴﻦ ﺩﻳﻮﺍﺭ, ʿAyn Dīwār) è un arco romano inagibile a 3,5 km a nord-est della città di , in Siria. Il ponte si trova a ridosso del confine turco e vicino a quello iracheno, a 500 m dall'odierno corso del fiume Tigri, il fiume che il ponte attraversava in passato. Questo ponte fu costruito nel II secolo d.C. dai romani per dare loro accesso al lato orientale dell'Anatolia. I romani fondarono anche l'insediamento Bezabde (l'odierna Cizre (in età islamica chiamato Ǧazīrat ibn ʿUmar), oltre il confine con la Turchia). Fu rifondato dai Selgiuchidi e dagli Arabi verso la fine del secolo XII o XIII. Il ponte di Ain Diwar viene definito spesso come un ottimo esempio di architettura islamica e ingegneria civile, ma le incisioni sul ponte non sono mai state studiate nel dettaglio. Le incisioni sulla pietra invece descrivono figure astrologiche, segni dello zodiaco e della cavalleria attribuiti da uno studioso di argomenti militari all'architettura romana. La struttura non è citata né da O'Connor (1993) né da Galliazzo (1994) nei loro inventari completi di ponti romani. (it) |
