The Chichester to Sidlesham Way was a minor Roman road designated RR156 under the Ivan Margary system of cataloguing possible Roman roads. Margary divided Roman roads into three categories: Main Routes are given single-digit numbers, Principal Branches two-digit numbers and Minor Branches three digit numbers. The RR156 began at Chichester and ...

Two piers and a number of three-arched sandstone bridgeheads that crossed a now extinct tract Canalat or Old Piavon River can be seen south of Ceggia. Further east the road crossed the River Livenza at Santa Anastasia where ...
Evidence for whether the Romans considered different lengths of road to form parts of a single route can be ambiguous, so the fact that they are given a single Margary number can be misleading.
