Roman Roads along the Eastern Coast: State of Research

Main Roman road along the eastern Adriatic coast lead from Aquileia in Italy towards South, across province Dalmatia into Macedonia, where it merged with Via Egnatia. It gradually developed by successive constructions and by putting together its individual segments (that were often on the route of the existing prehistoric communications). In the beginnings it was primarly of military significance, serving for fast army penetration into Japidian, Delmatian or Illyrian territory. It lost both military and strategic significance after the pacification of the province Dalmatia and departure of legions til the end of 1st century AD.As the littoral between Aquileia and Dyrrhachium was connected by much cheaper and faster ship transportations, this road begun to serve as its overland substitute. Main points on road are: Aquileia, ad Malum, ad Titulos, Castra, Tarsatica, Volcera, Senia, Avendo, Arupium, Ancus, Ausancalium, Clambetae, castra Burnum, Magnum, castellum Andetrium, pons Tiluri, Tronum, Bilubium, Novae, Ad Fusciana, Bigeste, Turres, ad Turres, Diluntum, Pardua, ad Zizio, Leusinum, Salthua, Anderba, Varae, Salluntum, Birziminium, Cinna, Scodra, Lissus, Dyrrhachium.
