Roman roads in Algeria at a glance
Algeria has about 16,192 km of Roman road in the Itiner-e atlas, mapped as 782 segments. That puts it 6th among the 39 countries with Roman roads in the dataset. Only 1% of it is classed as certain; 84% is conjectured and 15% is hypothetical. None of the roads here has a well-known name in the data, so the map shows unnamed Roman roads only. 455 Roman places (towns, forts, ports and stops) lie along the roads.
