There is no Roman pavement to be seen in this stretch of the Flaminia, yet the most Roman feature about it is clear: its modern highway successor is ruler-straight, with only two very slight swerves of no more than twenty meters. Even the casual walker will realize that any Roman pavement must lie under the asphalt: else why would two very old tombs 250 m apart line up along the modern road?
