La antigua Via Domitia, 118 a.C.
The ancient Via Domitia, 118 B.C.
(Español / English)
LA ANTIGUA VIA DOMITIA, LA CALZADA ROMANA QUE ENLAZABA ITALIA Y ESPAÑA
La Vía Domitia fue construida a partir del año 118 a.C. entre los Alpes y los Pirineos y en paralelo a la costa mediterránea, probablemente sobre un camino ya existente recorrido en su día por Aníbal Barca en su marcha hacia Roma. La Vía Domitia, que conducía hasta Cádiz convertida en la Vía Augusta; y la Vía Aquitania, que se proyectaba hacia el océano Atlántico.
Via Domitia, conduce a Ambrussum, una ciudad en el sur de Francia, cerca de Nimes.
Todavía es visible junto con los rastros de carros romanos.
La distancia entre sus ruedas, dada por dos caballos uno al lado del otro, sigue siendo la misma hoy que las vías del tren.

The ancient Via Domitia, the Roman road linking Italy and Spain.
The Via Domitia was built from 118 B.C. between the Alps and the Pyrenees and parallel to the Mediterranean coast, probably on an existing road traveled in its day by Aníbal Barca on his way to Rome. The Via Domitia, which led to Cadiz converted into the Via Augusta; and the Via Aquitaine, which projected towards the Atlantic Ocean.
Via Domitia, leads to Ambrussum, a town in the south of France, near Nîmes.
It is still visible along with traces of Roman chariots.
The distance between its wheels, given by two horses side by side, remains the same today as the train tracks.
