Gaius Julius Lacer
Gaius Julius Lacer was a Roman architect of the early 2nd century CE, known as the builder of the Alcántara Bridge over the Tagus in Lusitania, completed under Trajan around 104–106. An inscription in the small temple at the end of the bridge names him as its builder and dedicator. He is one of the few Roman engineers known by name from a surviving work.
