Wee Danny MacAskill Day Out
I have traveled the entire length of the Roman road, if possible, with my motorcycle in 2005. These visits include many rural roads and paths where the Roman road is still in use today, and offroad sections where the Roman road was located with good maps and GPS this placemark file is a collection of my GPS routes and tracks, which indicate the sections that I consider to be identified as part of the 2000 year old road Although I consulted a lot of literature I pass this information to you without warranty simply go there and see for yourself.
The Roman road crossed the River Rhone in Beaucaire Ugernum ferry west of the city there are three pieces of road named Chemin des Romans These fit perfectly with the line MARKES ancient traces of Domitian View Way Roman Beaucaire See Roman road near Jonquières St Vincent More to the west of the Roman road is the D999 today, it is an important step in D999 and D135 More steps are 9,10,13 mile 15 from Nîmes to Beaucaire.
Beaucaire between Nimes and the miles were counted from Porta Augusta Nimes 13 miles is a place with 4 stages kept to their original position 3 of them are well preserved while only a small fraction of the left soil today, the original inscriptions were carved in the stones are barely visible today Domitian is preserved here as a walk near a great career, only accessibly gps walk N 43 81609, 59931 O 4 .
Almost exactly a Roman mile along the west of Domitian all the steps we find the cross Could be a Roman step converted at a later date West this position there is a steep slope is not suitable for cars.
Further east in the tenth mile there are still several stones Visible standing and brand X for the Roman numeral ten is clearly visible There are 3 other fragments Usually, an important step was erected whenever the road was renovated stones honor the reign emperor who ordered the repairs vary in style as can be found when they were built for this purpose, often several stones existed for the same mile However, many stones were moved and used elsewhere or disappeared such a step Jonquieres moved into the chapel to the north.
Milestone 9 is in a small forest along the Domitian way that is more rural west of Domitian is covered by tarmac of the D999.
An important stage erected in the year 32 BC under Emperor Tiberius kept a copy is diplayed at the crossroads leading to the village Manduel There should be another important step on the further display to the village, but I could not not locate it.
The 4-mile location is marked by a modern display at the crossroads of the D999 and D135.
