The Roman Roads Between Upper Moesia and Thrace: Archaeological and Epigraphic Evidence
Abstract
The paper focuses on a little-known Roman vicinal communication that connected the River Timok region in Upper Moesia with the Roman town of Pautalia in the province of Thrace. In Roman times the most important feature of both of these two regions was mining activity. This road that connected two mining centres was most likely to have been used for the transport of ore. Although it is not mentioned in the extant Roman itineraries, it was certainly an important compendium between two Roman centres and was marked by milestones. This paper also reconsiders
