The Itinerario de Barro is composed of four clay plates, extraordinarily fragmented, which in their complete form would measure 14 X 12 cms. and of which only one, precisely the second, appears topped by a trapezoidal handle with a hole that, undoubtedly, would serve to hang it. In the four clay plates mentioned a series of roads in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula with details of the respective mansions and the partial distances of each other.

The authenticity of the Itinerario de Barro clay plates had been continuously discussed (Arias 1987, Roldan 1975) but recent thermoluminescence technique analysis had proved their Roman authenticity (Fernández Ochoa et al. 2012).

This route, which was analyzed and published by Roldán (1974), who created the generic name of "Vía de la Plata", is also reflected in the Itinerary of Antonino forming part of different road routes -Via 24 and Via 26-. But the only document that reflects in a unified way the path of the road to the south is precisely the third table of the Itinerario de Barro
