Campania - Teano CE - Roman Roads - The Via Adriana In San Lieno. Stock Photography

Named in honor of the emperor Hadrian who oversaw its restoration it is more likely that the emperor placed the paving and not carried out a real reconstruction intervention. The road had to leave the city near the current Borgo S. Antonio Abate and continue in a south-westerly direction to the Fosso del Rio Persico. From here, the road, still preserved albeit occasionally, deviates north-west to the current Micheletti Chapel. Here the road makes a sharp bend to the south to continue south-west to the locality `crocella`. At this point, traces of the road are lost, making any reconstructive hypothesis impossible the excavations that have taken place in recent centuries have radically transformed the area, only to appear again at loc. Terragneto. The road continues, crossing the mountain between Fontanelle and San Giuliano, until it almost reaches the sanctuary of Cappelle. From here the road curves eastwards to continue as far as Sessa Aurunca. The archaeological evidence of this road is numerous, being preserved in several points. Along this road there must have been rustic villas with adjoining necropolis, such as the necropolis of San Giuliano and, probably, the rustic villa in Località San Bartolomeo
