		Just outside the city there is also the best preserved aqueduct from the Roman world, named the Pont du Gard (meaning "bridge of the River Gard").
		Built in the 1st century BCE under the Emperor Augustus, the Pont du Gard is an aqueduct bridge which carried water from a spring to the city of Nimes, about 30 miles away.
		Because the River Gard was in between the two, the Romans had to build a bridge over the river to carry the water line and had to elevate the water line to the top of the bridge to maintain an even and gradual decline of the pipes.

	Pont du Gard Gets Face-lift
