Via Domitia
The Via Domitia was the first Roman road built in Gaul, which is in modern day France. It was constructed in 118 BC by the proconsul, Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus, and was built around the time of the first Roman colony in Gaul, Colonia Narbo Martius, which is now known as Narbonne.
The via Domitia connected Italy to Spain. At Narbonne, it met the Via Aquitania, which led toward the Atlantic Ocean. The road went through Toulouse and Bordeaux.
