Roman Road from Silchester to Bath

The Roman road from Silchester to Bath connected Calleva Atrebatum with Aquae Sulis via Spinae, Cunetio and Verlucio [1]. The road was a significant route for east–west travel and military logistics in south-east England during the 1st to 5th centuries [1]. Parts of its route were subsequently followed by earthworks that are presumed to form part of Wansdyke [1]. During the Middle Ages, the road was used by drovers, as well as by merchants and travellers [1]. Margary numbered the road as 53 [1]. Portions of the Roman road are extant, while in other places all apparent vestiges are absent from view [1]. In the early 19th century, Colt-Hoare surveyed and mapped its course from Overton Down (west of Marlborough) to Bath; the rest was only known in isolated sections until a study by Hugh Toller was published in 2013 [1].
