"Via Valeria The Via Valeria was an ancient Roman road of Italy, the continuation north-eastwards of the Via Tiburtina. It probably owed its origin to Marcus Valerius Messalla, censor in 154 BC. It ran first up the Anio valley past Varia, and then, abandoning it at the 36th mile, where the Via Sublacensis diverged, ascended to Carsoli, and then again to the lofty pass of Monte Bove, whence it descended again to the valley in Roman times occupied by the Lake Fucino. It is doubtful whether Via Valeria ran farther than the eastern point of the territory of the Marsi"

"Via media Via media is a Latin phrase meaning ""the middle road"" and is a philosophical maxim for life which advocates moderation in all thoughts and actions. Originating from early Ancient Greek philosophy, where Aristotle (384–322 BCE) taught moderation, urging his students to follow the middle road between extremes, the ""via media"" was the dominant philosophical precept by which Ancient Roman civilisation and society was organised. The term ""via media"" is frequently applied to the Anglican churches, though not without debate, as a term of apologetics. The idea of a middle way, between the Roman Catholics and the Magisterial Reformers,"

The phrase has been attributed to Hannibal; when his generals told him it was impossible to cross the Alps by elephant, this was supposedly his response.

"Via Devana The Via Devana was a Roman Road in England that ran from Colchester in the south-east, through Cambridge in the interior, and on to Chester in the north-west.

The Latin name for Chester is ""Deva"" and it was thus 'The Chester Road'. Colchester was ""Colonia Victricensis"", 'the City of Victory', and lays claim to be the oldest Roman city in Britain. The Via Devana had little civilian rationale and the road eventually fell into disuse"

The name comes from Latin ""pons, pontis"", ""bridge,"" and the adjective ""sublicius"", ""resting on pilings,"" from the stem of ""sublicae"", pilings. As a ""sublica"" was a pick, ""sublicae"" implies pointed sticks; that is, the bridge was supported by pilings driven into the riverbed. Julius Caesar’s engineers used this construction to bridge the Rhine. The bridge was rebuilt repeatedly. The date of its final disappearance is not known, but it is not in classical times.

The states controlling the Via Maris were in a position to grant access for trade to their own citizens and collect tolls from the outsiders to maintain the trade route. The name ""Via Maris"" is a Latin translation of a Hebrew phrase related to Isaiah. Due to the biblical significance of this ancient route, many attempts to find its present-day location have been made by Christian pilgrims. 13th-century traveler and pilgrim Burchard of Mount Zion refers to the Via Maris route as a way leading"

It means that those defeated in battle are entirely at the mercy of their conquerors and should not expect—or request—leniency.

According to tradition, in 390 BC, an army of Gauls led by Brennus attacked Rome, capturing all of the city except for"

"Via Heraclea The Via Heraclea, (Heraclea or Heraklea), Heraklean Way () was an important historic road that ran along the Iberian Peninsula from at least the sixth century BC. Much of its design is the direct ancestor of the Roman Via Augusta.
