Via Caecilia

Via Caecilia , an ancient highroad of Italy , which diverged from the Via Salaria at the 35th mile (56 km) from Rome , and ran by Amiternum to the Adriatic coast , passing probably by Hadria ( Atri ). A branch ran to Interamna Praetuttiorum ( Teramo ) and thence probably to the sea at Castrum Novum ( Giulianova ), a distance of about 151 miles (243 km) from Rome. It was probably constructed by Lucius Caecilius Metellus Diadematus ( consul in 117 BC, censor 115). ^[1]
