Via Aurelia

The Via Aurelia (Aurelian Way) was a Roman road in Italy constructed in approximately the year 241 BCE. The project was undertaken by C. Aurelius Cotta, who at that time was censor. Cotta had a history of building roads for Rome, as he had overseen the construction of a military road in Sicily (as consul in 252 BCE, during the First Punic War) connecting Agrigentum (modern Agrigento) and Panormus (modern Palermo).
