Via Triumphalis (Rome)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Via Triumphalis was one of the most important streets on the ager Vaticanus at the foot of the Vatican Hill in Rome . It started on the right bank of the Tiber at the pons Neronianus (today Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II ), led northwest over the Prati di Castello to the southern slope of the mons Marius and probably met at the homestead La Giustiniana on the Via Clodia . The same officer with the rank of curator , who was also responsible for Via Aurelia and Via Cornelia , was responsible for maintenance . The origin of the name is uncertain, but it could not have existed before Nero's time . The road cannot be connected with the triumphal procession as a tribute to a Roman general. It is mentioned in a city Roman inscription, an inscription from Ephesus and in the appendix to the regional catalog of the 4th century. Today it corresponds to parts of the Via Trionfale. map
