Via Augusta

1st century BCE · 1st century BCE

The Via Augusta was the longest Roman road in Hispania, running about 1,500 kilometres from the Pyrenees along the Mediterranean coast through Tarraco and Valentia and then inland to Corduba and Gades. Rebuilt under Augustus, after whom it was named, on the line of older routes, it shaped the main travel routes of eastern and southern Spain for centuries.
