The Roman Bridge is an ancient structure in Trier, over the Moselle. It is the oldest standing bridge in the country, and the oldest Roman bridge north of the Alps. In Roman times, tossing a coin off of the bridge into the Moselle was an offering of good luck. Along with other Roman and Early Gothic sites in Trier, the bridge was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1986 because of its historical importance and architecture.
