	Cardo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Roman city planning, a cardo or cardus was a north-south-oriented street in ancient Roman cities, military camps, and colonia.
		Due to varying geography, in some cities the decumanus is the main street and the cardo is secondary, but in general the cardus maximus served as the primary road.
		The Cardo Maximus of Apamea, Syria ran through the center of the city directly from North to South, linked the principal gates of the city, and was originally surrounded by 1200 columns with unique spiral fluting, each subsequent column spiraling in the opposite direction.
