Extract

Many stretches of the paved Roman road described here are already known. The earliest section of it (from Gabii) was described by Nibby as the shortest route to Passerano (see Figs. 1 and 2) (Nibby, 1849, iii: 69–70) and it is recorded by Ashby (1906: 195–6) together with the part east from the Fosso di Corzano (Fig. 2). A ‘Via Antica’ is marked between the Fosso di Passerano and the upper course of the Fosso di Ceccara on the ‘Colonna’ map sheet.

The last stages of the road were referred to by Lanciani (1909: 188), and described by Ashby after the crossing of the Fosso di San Vittorino (Fig. 3): ‘On the steep ascent beyond the pavement it is still in good preservation. After reaching the top of this it turns first ESE and then due E, running along the Colle Faustiniano. As far as the Casale Contrevio it is easily traceable by the abundance of loose paving-stones which mark its line, but beyond that its course is doubtful. Cassio (Memorie di S. Silvia, 26) states that it ran to the village of Casape, but Revillas on his map does not show it beyond the Casale Contrevio’ (Ashby, 1906: 132).
