Ancient Roman road in Portugal. The first of the great Roman roads, the Via Appia (Appian Way), begun by the censor Appius Claudius Caecus in 312 bce, originally ran southeast from Rome 162 miles (261 km) to Tarentum (now Taranto) and was later extended to the Adriatic coast at Brundisium (now Brindisi).
To protect Roman colonies in Raetia, the Legions built and garrisoned a series of fortifications called Limes. The Limes to the north and east in the Roman province of Germania Superior were a high spiked wooden fence with a ditch or moat.
