 Via Aemilia Information
Via Emilia) is a Roman road in the north of Italy, still used, along the edge of the Po River valley and the foothills of the Apennines connecting in a straight line the towns of Piacenza with Rimini, and also passing through the towns of Fidenza, Parma, Reggio, Modena, Bologna, Imola.
"Aemilia" was at first a popular usage (as in Martial's poems), but it appeared in official language as early as the 2nd century.
Remains of the bridge of the Via Aemilia over the river at Bologna were found in the 1890s, consisting of parts of the parapets on each side, originally 38.75 feet apart, in brick-faced concrete; they belonged to a restoration, the original construction (probably in Augustus' rebuilding) having been in blocks of Veronese red marble.
