Fosse Way

Wikipediasta

Roomalaisteiden verkko, Fosse Way punaisella.

Fosse Way oli roomalainen tie Englannissa. Sitä pitkin pääsi Exeteristä (Isca Dumnoniorum) Lincolnshiren Lincolniin (Lindum Colonia) Ilchesterin (Lindinis), Bathin (Aquae Sulis), Cirencesterin (Corinium) ja Leicesterin (Ratae Corieltauvorum) kautta.[1] Se oli noin neljäsataa kilometriä pitkä.

Tiessä on erikoista sen suoruus: mikään kohta ei poikkea kymmentä kilometriä sen päätepisteiden väliseltä suoralta, ja tie tekee kaksi 25 asteen kaarretta eikä sitä jyrkempiä mutkia. Siitä erkanee Icknield Street lähellä Bourton-on-the-Wateria, Ilchesteristä lähtee haara Dorchesteriin, ja lähellä Cirencesteriä ovat risteykset Erming Streetin ja Akeman Streetin kanssa.[2]
