LABICANA, VIA

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 4 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
LABICANA, VIA , an ancient highroad of
Italy
 , leading E.S.E. from Rome. It seems possible that the road at first led to
Tusculum
 , that it was then prolonged to
Labici
 , and later still became a road for through
traffic
 ; it may even have superseded the Via
Latina
  as a route to the S.E., for, while the distance from Rome to their
main
  junction at Ad Bivium (or to another junction at Compitum Anagninum) is practically identical, the summit level of the former is 725 ft.
lower
  than that of the latter, a little to the west of the pass of Algidus. After their junction it is probable that the road bore the name Via
Latina
  rather than Via
Labicana
 . The course of the road after the first six miles from Rome is not identical with that of any
modern
  road, but can be clearly traced by remains of pavement and buildings along its course.
See T.
Ashby
  in Papers of the British School at Rome, i. 215 sq.
