Barrington Atlas: BAtlas 42 C4 Via Ciminia
The Via Ciminia is attested in second century inscriptions dealing with the curatores viarum. Remains of a paved tract running from Sutrium to Lago di Vico has been presumed to be the Via Ciminia. It is then assumed, by Duncan and others, to continue toward Viterbo, rejoining the Via Cassia at Aquae Passeris.
