The Via Aemilia (Italian: Via Emilia, English: Aemilian Way) was a trunk Roman road in the north Italian plain, running from Ariminum , on the Adriatic coast, to Placentia on the River Padus . It was completed in 187 BC. The Via Aemilia connected at Rimini with the Via Flaminia, which had been completed 33 years earlier, to Rome.
The bridge was the final major project of Augustus in Ariminum, which included the construction of the Arch of Augustus, the renovations of the Via Flaminia and Via Aemilia, and the renaming of the colonia as Colonia Augusta Ariminensis. [31]
