The Via Salaria is old a Roman Voie which went from Rome by the Porta Paid in the Mur of Aurélien to Castrum Truentinum (Oporto d' Ascoli) on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, to 242 km by Reate (Rieti) and Asculum (Ascoli Piceno).

The Via Salaria holds its name of the salt, because it is by this road that the Sabins brought back salt collected to the mouth of the the Tiber. Certain historians consider that the Salaria and the trade of salt are one of the reasons of the Fondation of Rome.

There remain still certain parts of the way in the mountains.
