The Pont Flavien (English: Flavian Bridge) is a Roman bridge across the River Touloubre in Saint-Chamas, Bouches-du-Rhône department, southern France. The single arch bridge is noted for its fine triumphal arches standing at each entrance.
The bridge inscription refers to a certain C. Donnius Flavos, a priest from Rome in the reign of Augustus, as bridge builder. The structure is thus dated to around 12 BC, when work on the Via Julia Augusta began.
