SEVERIANA, VIA

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 723 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SCY-SHA
SEVERIANA, VIA , an
ancient
  highroad of
Italy
 , running S.E. from Ostia to Terracina, a distance of 73 in. along the
coast
 , and taking its name, no doubt, from the restoration of an already existing road by Septimius Severus, who was a
great
  benefactor of Ostia. It ran along the shore at first, just behind the
line
  of villas which fronted upon the sea, and are now
half
  a mile inland, or even upon its edge (for an inscription records its being damaged by the waves). Farther S.E. it seems to have kept rather more distant from the shore, and it probably kept within the lagoons below the Circean promontory. As is natural in a sandy
district
  where building materials are rare, remains of it are scanty.
See R. Lanciani in Monumenti dei Lincei, xiii. (1903), 185; xvi. (1906), 241; T.
Ashby
  in Melanges de l'Ecole francaise de Rome (1905), 157 sqq. (T. As.)
