A Roman Road without Borders.

11 December 2022

The approximately 400 km long road follows the course of the old Via Romana, which connected the Roman legionnaire’s camp Vindonissa (Windisch, canton Aargau, Switzerland),  with the settlement Grinario (Köngen near Stuttgart in Germany).

This road is also shown on the Tabula Peutingeriana, an ancient Roman road map. The original map is lost, but a medieval copy shows the road.
