Via Augusta was a Roman road that linked the peninsula of Hispania to the center of the Roman world. Strictly it would pass along the Mediterranean coast: from the Pyrenees to Cádiz. [1] [2] It was the longest road and the main axis of the Roman road Hispanic network, with an approximate length of 1,500 km.
Historically, Via Augusta was one of the most important routes in the commercial and communications field between cities, provinces and ports of the Mediterranean, always looking for a route that took advantage of the natural corridors and the less difficult areas of passage.
As it passed through Catalonia, it took advantage of pre-littoral depression, not an ancient exchange and relationship.
The passage of the Via Augusta by the city of Girona is documented in three millenary stones, perfectly conserved, that indicated the precise distance from the signal to the nearest mansion, along with other indications like the name of the emperor under whose government had been fixed, the name of the road, and others.
