Via Salaria is marked in red | EH101 from it
Via Salaria roads in Italy and is even older than the Eternal City itself. The 242 km long road connected the capital of the Empire with the Adriatic Sea.
Via Salaria takes its name from the Latin word salis meaning “salt”; because this road was used to transport inland salt from coastal brines (this was done by ancient Sabines).
The Salt Road started just outside Porta Salaria in Rome and ended in Castrum Truentinum, next to Martinsicuro.
