North MacedoniaThe Via Egnatia was constructed in order to link a chain of Roman colonies stretching from the Adriatic Sea to the Bosphorus [1]. The termini of the Via Egnatia and the Via Appia, leading from Rome itself, were almost directly opposite each other on the east and west shores of the Adriatic Sea [1]. The route, thus gave the colonies of the southern Balkans a direct connection to Rome [1]. The Via Egnatia is known as Calea Mare ("The Big Road") by the Aromanians in their native Aromanian language [1].
