Ambrussum was a relay station on the Via Domitia which ran at the foot of the settlement. The town had all the equipment needed to welcome travelers, including inns, places of worship, thermal baths and a forge specialized in vehicle maintenance. A paved road leading out of the settlement is still visible along with the traces of Roman [chariot](https://www.worldhistory.org/chariot/) tracks. #### Editorial Review This human-authored image has been reviewed by our editorial team before publication to ensure accuracy, reliability and adherence to academic standards in accordance with our [editorial policy](https://www.worldhistory.org/static/editorial-policy/). ## About the Author Carole maintains the popular ancient history photo-blog Following Hadrian, where she travels the ancient world in the footsteps of Emperor Hadrian. - [Facebook Profile](https://www.facebook.com/FollowingHadrian) - [X/Twitter Profile](https://twitter.com/carolemadge) ## Cite This Work ### APA Raddato, C.
