Many roads, one destination
Romans built several roads(Viae) to connect Norts-Eastern Italy to the Danube:the travelers might choosethe most suitable itineraryaccording to his needs.
The RecRoad Project decided to reconstruct the one depicted onthe Tabula: the fastest, the easiest to travel in every season ofthe year, but probably also the first one built by the Romans.
