VIA TRIUMPHALIS (1)
a road running northwards from the
PONS
NERONIANUS across the Prati di Castello, ascending the southern slopes
of Monte Mario to the right of the modern road, and finally joining the
via Clodia at La Giustiniana, 7 miles from Rome. It was under the
same curatores as the
VIA AURELIA (q.v.) but the origin of the name is
unknown (
CIL vi. 10247; cf. p. 3307; Not. app.). Extensive brickfields
which are still in use existed on the left of it, to which
CIL xv. 684:
Tac(ci?) Ruf(i?) (de) via Tri(umphali) probably belongs. See Jord.
