Flour Mills on European Rivers

The Journal of Sacred Literature By John Kitto, Henry Burgess, Benjamin Harris Cowper: "years guarantee The others also are not much more recent in their origin That of Srm Bartolomco is not known This bridge Is also named Serrato from the chains by Which it anchors the flour mills placed upon the Tibur by the contrivance of Belisarius when the city was blockaded by the Goths The third or Ponte fOsto was constructed under Caracalla in the year 199 The fourth and finest of the whole the Ponte Sant Angela goes still back to about 136 It was originally called the Pans jElius from jElius Adrianus the builder But the saints have here as elsewhere usurped the glory of their predecessors "
This text implies the presence of flour mills on the Tibur in the nineteenth-century. It is my sense that flour mills floated on all European rivers where they flowed through cities. Any documentation regarding floating mills would be appreciated. I know about the paintings of the Seine with mills at the Carnavelet museum in Paris, but that is about it. 

Thanks.
