| THE FLAMINIAN WAY (220 B.C.) |
| In ancient times the Flaminian Way was a route of fundamental importance linking Rome to northern Italy and later to central and eastern Europe. The road was originally built by Gaius Flaminius in about 220 B.C. It followed the Tiber valley up to the Apennines and crossed over the mountains at the convenient Scheggia Pass (632 m.). It then descended on the Adriatic side, along the Metauro valley up to Fanum Fortunae (FANO), continued on to Pisaurum (Pesaro) and finally ran on along the coast to Ariminum (Rimini). |
