The Antonine Itinerary is one of the most famous Roman "itineraries" where the main communication roads of the Roman Empire were collected in a series of lists of stop points and the distances that separated them. Its name does not seem to be related to Emperor Antonine Pius, but rather to Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Augustus, known as Caracalla, who ruled the Roman Empire from 211 to 217. The Antonini Itinerarium is most likely based on official documents, probably from a study organized by Julius Caesar and developed during the reign of August. We do not know for sure about the author. It is considered probable that the date of the original edition is at the beginning of the third century, while what has come to us probably corresponds to the times of Diocletian. The via Item a Caesarea Augusta Beneharno or Via 33 (Saavedra 1862) is a straight route which connects the city of Caesaraugusta with the province of Gal·lia crossing the Pyrenees by Beneharnum in direction to Tolose. This 112 mp path has 8 mansiones.
