Roman roads in Spain at a glance
Spain has about 35,054 km of Roman road in the Itiner-e atlas, mapped as 1,495 segments. That puts it 3rd among the 39 countries with Roman roads in the dataset. Only 1% of it is classed as certain; almost all of it is conjectured. None of the roads here has a well-known name in the data, so the map shows unnamed Roman roads only. 437 Roman places (towns, forts, ports and stops) lie along the roads.
