Via Nomentana
The Via Nomentana was an ancient Roman road in Italy, leading North-East from Rome to Nomentum (modern Mentana), a distance of Template:Convert. It originally bore the name "Via Ficulensis", from the old Latin village of Ficulea, about Template:Convert from Rome. It was subsequently extended to Nomentum, but never became an important high road, and merged in the Via Salaria a few kilometers beyond Nomentum.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". It is followed as far as Nomentum by the modern state road, but some traces of its pavement still exist.[1]
The road started at the Porta Collina in the Servian Walls until the third century, when emperor Aurelian built the Porta Nomentana in his new set of walls.
