Via Aemilia
In the century following the construction of the "Via Aemilia", Piacenza became the key Roman road hub in the pianura padana. In 148 BC, the Via Postumia linked Piacenza to Aquileia on the north Adriatic coast. In 109 BC, the consul Marcus Aemilius Scaurus completed the "Via Aemilia Scaura" to "Genua" (Genoa) and "Pisae" (Pisa).
