Ancient Roman road
Venezia Julia, Slovenia, Istria in the Tabula Peutingeriana
The Via Flavia was an ancient Roman road which connected Trieste (ancient Tergeste ) to Dalmatia , running across the Istrian coast. It was constructed during the reign of emperor Vespasian , in 78/79 AD.[1]
After Trieste, it crossed the Rižana , the Dragonja/Dragogna (Timavo) and, at Ponte Porton, the biggest Istrian river, the Mirna/Quieto (Ningus) . Then it reached the Limski Kanal/Canale Leme (Limes) , Dvigrad Due Castelli , Bale (Valle) , Vodnjan (Dignano) and Pula/Pola (Pola) , after which it turned towards Visače (Nesactium) , reaching the Raša/Arsa (Arsia) River , crossing it, and continuing as a local road through Labin (Albona) and Plomin (Fianona) as far as Kastav/Castua (Castra) , where it joined at an angle with the Via Annia .
