Almost all Roman roads in Africa were built in the first two centuries AD. In 14 AD Legio III Augusta completed a road from Tacape to Ammaedara: the first Roman road in Africa. In 42 AD, the kingdom of Mauretania was annexed by Rome. Emperor Claudius then restored and widened a Carthaginian trail and extended it west and east. This way the Romans created a continuous coastal highway stretching for 2,100 miles from the Atlantic to the Nile. In 137, Hadrian built the Via Hadriana in the eastern desert of Egypt. It ran from Antinoopolis to Berenice.

  • Presque toutes les voies romaines d'Afrique du Nord ont été construites durant les 2 premiers siècles de notre ère. En 14, la Legio III Augusta a terminé la route allant de Tacape (Gabès) à Ammaedara, la toute première route romaine d'Afrique. En 42, le royaume de Maurétanie est annexé par Rome. L'empereur Claude restaure alors et agrandit les routes carthaginoises existantes d'Est en Ouest. De ce fait, les romains permirent la création d'une autoroute côtière et continue s'étirant sur plus de 2 100 kilomètres et allant de l'Atlantique jusqu'au Nil. En 137 Hadrien construit la via Hadriana dans l'Est du désert égyptien. Cette voie allait de Antinoupolis à Berenice. Les routes de Claudius qui commençaient à l'Ouest de Carthage suivaient la côte en connectant les principales villes. De Hippo Regius (Annaba), sur la côte, la route continuait vers l'Ouest jusqu'à Icosium (Alger), Caesarea (Cherchell), Rusaddir (Melilla) et Tingis (Tanger). Elle suivait à partir de là la côte Atlantique au travers de Iulia Constantia Zilil (Assilah) et Lixus (Larache) jusqu'à Sala Colonia (près de Rabat). À l'Est de Carthage la route allait au travers des régions constituant les principaux points de commerce de Carthage à Sabratha, Oea-Tripolis, Leptis Magna et Cyrénaïque avant d'arriver jusqu'en Alexandrie et la région basse du Nil.

It ran from Antinoopolis to Berenice. Claudius' road that began west of Carthage followed the coastline connecting the coastal towns. From Hippo Regius, on the coast, it continued westwards to Icosium (Algiers), Caesarea (Cherchell), as far as Rusaddir (Melilla) and Tingis (Tangier). It then continued along the Atlantic coast through Iulia Constantia Zilil (Asilah) and Lixus (Larache) to Sala Colonia (near Rabat). East of Carthage the road went through the region of the Carthaginian trading stations Sabratha, Oea-Tripolis, Leptis Magna and Cyrenaica before coming to Alexandria and the lower Nile region. (en)
  • Quasi tutte le strade romane in Africa furono costruite nei primi due secoli d.C. Nel 14 d.C. la Legio III Augusta completò una strada da Takapes ad Ammaedara: la prima strada romana in Africa. Nel 42 d.C. la Mauretania fu annessa a Roma. L'imperatore Claudio restaurò e ampliò un tracciato cartaginese e lo estese da ovest a est. In questo modo i romani crearono una strada costiera continua che si estendeva per 2.100 miglia dall'Atlantico al Nilo. Nel 137 Adriano costruì la Via Hadriana nel deserto orientale dell'Egitto che andava da Antinoopoli a Berenice. La strada di Claudio iniziava a ovest di Cartagine e percorreva la costa collegando le cittadine costiere. Da Hippo Regius, sulla costa, proseguiva verso ovest fino a Icosium (Algeri), Cesarea (Cherchell), fino a Rusaddir (Melilla) e Tingis (Tangeri). Continuava poi lungo la costa atlantica attraverso Iulia Constantia Zilil (Assila) e Lixus (Larache) fino a Sala Colonia (vicino a Rabat ). A est di Cartagine la strada attraversava la regione delle stazioni commerciali cartaginesi Sabratha, Oea-Tripolis, Leptis Magna e la Cirenaica prima di giungere ad Alessandria e alla regione del basso Nilo.
