Stone blocks for the use of equestrians were at regular distances, and also milestones telling the distance from Rome.
There were four main public roads:-- 1.

VIA APPIA, from Rome to Capua, Beneventum, Tarentum, and Brundisium.
2.

VIA LATINA, from Rome to Aquinum and Teanum, joining the Via Appia at Beneventum.
3.

VIA FLAMINIA, the great northern road.

In Umbria, near Ocriculum and Narnia, a branch went east through Spoletium, joining the main line at Fulsinia.
