	Parsons Project Profile--Egnatia Project
		Egnatia Odos, which translates to "Roman Road," is, in effect, the recreation of the ancient Roman highway, Via Egnatia.
		However, because of the technical complexity of the Egnatia Odos project, the nationality provisions of the EU tendering rules were waived, thus opening the project to international competition.
		The Egnatia Odos, which is being constructed on a new alignment traversing Northern Greece through expropriated land, is the first highway in Greece to be designed and built in accordance with international motorway standards.

	The economy of the Roman period (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The subjection of Macedonia to the Roman state inaugurated a new era, reducing the region to a minor position, as its natural resources could not compete with those of the provinces of Asia Minor and the West.
		The economy was greatly stimulated by the construction of the Via Egnatia, the installation of Roman merchants in the cities, and the founding of Roman colonies.
		The improvement of the living conditions of the productive classes brought about an increase in the number of producers and a broadening of the economic base, as numerous artisans (stone-masons, miners, flsmiths etc.) -- among them many freedmen -- were employed in every kind of commercial activity and craft.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.06.06
		Michele F(asolo) offers an ambitious study of the Roman via Egnatia, a historically significant road which once ran from Dyrrhachium (modern Durrës) and Apollonia on the Adriatic to the Bosphorus.
		Again, among the testimonia collected under the rubric "the via Egnatia from the second to the fifth centuries AD" we find a report from Appian's Civil Wars 2.55.229 (likely composed between AD 150-165) which discusses the movements of Pompey in connection with the campaign leading up to Pharsalus in 48 BC.
		This presents a problem: to be useful to scholars, ideally the discussion should consistently refer to places by their ancient toponyms, with the modern name added parenthetically in case someone must trace the path on the ground or on a modern map, e.g., Dyrrhachium (Durrës).

		The revival of the historic Via Egnatia Highway, beginning at the Port of Igoumenitsa with its Venetian fortress, which in the Roman period united East and West, has come to the fore frond once again today to confirm its historic role, with a project of immense national importance for Greece and Europe.
		With the materialization of the new Egnatia Highway, Greece may have the greatest opportunity ever for economic penetration of the Balkans.
		An essential and supplementary project for the better operation and exploitation of the Via Egnatia as a transit route to and from the EU is the construction of the commercial and tourist port of Igoumenitsa.
