This work deals with the roads Iader - Asseria - Burnum, Asseria - Scardona, Asseria - Sidrona and Asseria - Ansium (?). In reconstructing the Roman roads - net maps, itineraries and geographic description, as well as topographic and epigraphic analyses were taken into consideration. Various new facts have come to light after the excavations being done in front of the town gate and on the part of the road Iader - Nedinum - Asseria, that is, the width of the road, the way it had been constructed and the role it played.
