POSTUMIA, VIA

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 197 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
POSTUMIA, VIA , an
ancient
  highroad of northern
Italy
 , constructed in 148 n.e. by the
consul
  Spurius Postumius
Albinus
 . It ran from the
coast
  at Genua through the mountains. to Dertona, Placentia (the termination of the Via Aemilia Lepidi) and
Cremona
 , just
east
  of the point where it crossed the Po. From
Cremona
  the road ran eastward to Bedriacum, where it forked, one branch running to the left , to Verona and thence to the
Brenner
 , the other to the right to Mantua, Altinum and Aquileia. The military occupation of Liguria depended upon this road, and several of the more important towns owed their origin largely to it. Cremona was its central point, the distances being reckoned from it both eastwards and westwards.
