Con la riforma amministrativa voluta da Diocleziano e l’istituzione della diocesi d’Italia, la penisola fu riorganizzata in province. Tre di queste, la Flaminia, l’Aemilia e la Valeria, erano attraversate da antiche vie consolari e da queste traevano il proprio nome. Tracciate in epoca repubblicana erano rimaste assi indispensabili e imprescindibili nella rete delle comunicazioni. Sempre disegnando l’assetto del territorio, il percorso di queste vie non rimase tuttavia inalterato nel corso del tempo.

Abstract
With Diocletian's administrative reform and the establishment of the diocese of Italy, the peninsula was reorganised into provinces. Three of these, the Flaminia, the Aemilia and the Valeria, were crossed by ancient consular roads and derived their names from them. Traced in the Republican era, they had remained indispensable and unavoidable axes in the communications network. By simplifying the layout of the territory, the route of these roads did not, however, remain unchanged over time.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
