As vias romanas de Olisipo a Augusta Emerita

Three Roman roads linked Olisipo (Lisboa) and Augusta Emerita: one by Salacia (Alcácer do Sal) and Ebora (Évora); a second by Aritium Praetorium and Abelterium (Alter do Chão); and a third by Tubucci. Most of the localities referred to in Antonine’s Itinerary have yet to be identified and their exact positions remain in doubt. This article intends to present a critical appraisal of research carried out since the 16th century by various authors and puts forward some suggestions that need to be confirmed by field-walking.
