Milestones indicating distances from Moesia Inferior

Milestones indicating distances from Moesia Inferior

Abstract

Milestones are special pillars typically inscribed with information which helped travelers during ancient times to move from one place to another. Initially, they contained only little geographic information. In time they become instruments of communication and propaganda, the text of inscriptions is becoming more elaborate including all the titles and genealogy of the emperor who built or repaired the road or other kind of data. Among the information provided to travelers was the distance measured in milia passuum (1 MP = 1480m) from one place to the nearest locality. Although important it is not always specified. Sometimes neither the distance! In Lower Moesia were so far discovered 31 such milliaria. They are the subject of the present contribution. Most of them were identified in situ confirming distances recorded on ancient itineraries or had contributed to the reconstruction of the course of the ancient roads within the province.
