Via Clodia
As Via Clodia is a Roman road called that from Rome via Clusium ( Chiusi ), Arretium ( Arezzo ), Florentia ( Florence ), Luca ( Lucca ) to Luni led and there following the Via Aurelia and Via Aemilia Scauri to Genoa found .
Originally there were probably only two parts under this name:
1. A road that began in Rome, was identical for its first 20 kilometers with the Via Cassia and then branched off to the north-northwest, passed on the west side of Lake Bracciano (Lacus Sabatinus) to Forum Clodii and Blera , and there was no further traditional street ended.
Today this road essentially corresponds to the Via Braccianense Claudia .
2. a road that was the continuation of the Via Cassia , which ran from Rome to Clusium, and which followed the above route to Luni.
During the imperial era, the route between these two pieces was apparently also called Via Clodia, replacing the previous name Via Cassia.
The Via Clodia is often confused with the Via Claudia, which was probably a predecessor of the Via Flaminia .
