The Via Flaminia was built in the late 3rd-century BC by the Roman consul Caius Flaminius to link the capital with the Ager Gallicus, but much of the old road has disappeared over the centuries.
One of the most important traces is to be found at the entrance to the town centre of Rignano Flaminio, where large and clearly visible cobblestones remain, the typical lava stone blocks used in antiquity for paving roads.
