Via Sublacensis

The Via Sublacensis was a Roman road constructed to connect Nero's palace (the Villa Sublacensis) in present-day Subiaco to Rome, splitting off from the Via Valeria[1] near Varia (modern Vicovaro), about 10 km northeast of Tivoli.

It is most commonly referred to as the origin of the Aqua Anio Novus, a major aqueduct whose head was originally at the 38th milestone of the Via Sublacensis.[2]
