Via Hadriana

The Via Hadriana was an ancient Roman road established by the emperor Hadrian, running from Antinopolis to the Red Sea at Berenike. It was finished in 137 AD. Traces of the road line were noted by Couyat (1910)[1] and Murray (1925)[2] who recorded the sites of several small mansios in the southern part of the road, but few in the north and none at all on the west-east stretch between Antinopolis and the coast. Many of these road stations had fortified watering points (hydreumata).[3]
