Late-19th-century reconstruction of Roman roads in Morocco. Aelia = Iulia Valentia Banasa (for a more recent map, look under External links)
Roman roads in Morocco were the western roads of Roman Africa.
Characteristics [ edit ]
In 42 AD, the western part of the kingdom of Mauretania was reorganized as a province of Rome Mauretania Tingitana . During the reign of emperor Claudius (41–54) infrastructure was improved.
A road leading in the southern direction from Tingis split in two at Ad Mercuri (possibly modern Bled Mers [1]
One of the two followed the Atlantic coast through Iulia Constantia Zilil (Dchar Jdid ),[2] Lixus (Larache ) and Sala Colonia (near Rabat ).
The other, more to the east, ended in Tocolosida , near Volubilis and modern Fez .
There is the possibility that a Roman road was built toward south, from Sala Colonia to Anfa (or Anfus), in the area of modern Casablanca , where there was a small port used by the Phoenicians and later the Romans since 15 BC.[3] Canary islands .
There was another important road that connected Mauretania Tingitana with Mauretania Caesariensis (modern western Algeria ). It ran from Tamuda to Numerus Syrorum .[4]
