About: Akeman Street

An Entity of Type: infrastructure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Akeman Street is a Roman road in southern England between the modern counties of Hertfordshire and Gloucestershire. It is approximately 117 kilometres (73 mi) long and runs roughly east–west. Akeman Street linked Watling Street just north of Verulamium (near modern St Albans) with the Fosse Way at Corinium Dobunnorum (now Cirencester). Evidence suggests that the route may well have been an older track, metalled and reorganised by the Romans. Its course passes through towns and villages including Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Tring, Aylesbury, Alchester (outside modern Bicester), Chesterton, Kirtlington, Ramsden and Asthall.

  • Akeman Street is a Roman road in southern England between the modern counties of Hertfordshire and Gloucestershire. It is approximately 117 kilometres (73 mi) long and runs roughly east–west. Akeman Street linked Watling Street just north of Verulamium (near modern St Albans) with the Fosse Way at Corinium Dobunnorum (now Cirencester). Evidence suggests that the route may well have been an older track, metalled and reorganised by the Romans. Its course passes through towns and villages including Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Tring, Aylesbury, Alchester (outside modern Bicester), Chesterton, Kirtlington, Ramsden and Asthall. Parts of the A41 road between Berkhamsted and Bicester use the course of the former Roman road, as did the Sparrows Herne turnpike between Berkhamsted and Aylesbury. A minor road between Chesterton and Kirtlington also uses its course. Other parts are in use as public footpaths, including a 6-mile (10 km) stretch between Tackley and Stonesfield that is part of the Oxfordshire Way. The origins of the road's name are uncertain but certainly date back to the Early Middle Ages. Some have suggested that "Akeman" derives from the Anglo-Saxon words for "oak-man". Others have suggested a connection with Bath, which the Anglo-Saxons called Acemannesceastre (Acemannes apparently being derived from the Roman name Aquae Sulis). It is unclear how this might have become associated with the road, but one possibility is that the name was originally used for the long stretch of road from Bath. (en)
  • Die Akeman Street ist eine Römerstraße in England, welche die „Watling Street“ in Verulamium (heute St Albans) mit dem „Fosse Way“ bei Corinium Dobunnorum (heute Cirencester) verbindet. (de)
  • Akeman Street est une importante voie romaine longue de 126 km, qui relie St Albans à Corinium Dobunnorum (Cirencester), en Angleterre. Elle est issue de la voie de Watling Street, qui vient de Londres et Douvres. Elle traverse les villes et villages de Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Tring, Aylesbury et Bicester avant de passer au sud-ouest vers Woodstock, Witney jusqu'à Cirencester. À Cirencester, elle rejoint les voies romaines de Fosse Way et Ermin Street. La partie de la route entre Londres et Bicester est toujours utilisée aujourd'hui et forme la voie rapide A41. Les origines du nom de cette voie sont incertaines mais doivent remonter au Haut Moyen Âge. Certains pensent qu'il s'agit d'une forme anglo-saxonne pour oak-man (l'homme au chêne ou homme-chêne). D'autres qu'il s'agit de la route qui conduit de Londres à Bath (dont le nom saxon est Akemancester), relié à Cirencester par Fosse Way, parfois appelée Akeman Street dans la région de Cirencester.

  • Akeman Street era una strada romana in Britannia, che univa Londinium (l'odierna Londra) a Corinium (l'odierna Cirencester), congiungendosi con la Fosse Way. Questa strada passava per diversi villaggi, tra cui Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Tring, Aylesbury e Bicester, prima di cambiare direzione verso sud-ovest, passando per Woodstock e Witney, e poi verso il nord, puntando su Cirencester.

  • Akeman Street was een belangrijke Romeinse heerweg in de Romeinse provincie Britannia. De weg verbond twee van de grootste steden op het eiland met elkaar, Verulamium (nabij het huidige St Albans) en Corinium Dobunnorum (het moderne Cirencester). De lengte bedroeg 126 km. De weg, waarvan de oorspronkelijke Latijnse naam niet is overgeleverd, is in gebruik geweest van 43 tot 409. Delen van de route bestaan nog als wandelpad, tractorspoor, landweg, dorpsstraat of interlokale weg. Deze dragen meestal moderne namen, maar in meerdere plaatsen is Akeman Street een gewoon adres met huisnummers. (nl)
