Ponte Lupo

A campagna romana – and the unforseen resurrection of Pont Lupo

Explorative beams radiated by an alien species in quest for other civilizations caused the unforseen resurrection of Ponte Lupo, the aqueduct bridge in the middle of the campagna romana. Being one of the largest infrastructural objects in Europe, it carried the Aqua Marcia aqueduct supplying water to Rome for more than 600 years.

Ponte Lupo, now out of stasis, got curious of what had become of the world surrounding it. From its classical legacy it started contemplating; where did technology go, which way took culture? It carefully rendered its new 21st century context. Probably the aliens had done the same thing, at that very instance of their first contact, but this is not sure.
