Roman roads in Morocco at a glance
Morocco has about 1,405 km of Roman road in the Itiner-e atlas, mapped as 54 segments. That puts it 27th among the 39 countries with Roman roads in the dataset. Only 0.4% of it is classed as certain; 65% is conjectured and 35% is hypothetical. None of the roads here has a well-known name in the data, so the map shows unnamed Roman roads only. 52 Roman places (towns, forts, ports and stops) lie along the roads.
