During your stay in one of the hotels of Riccione, you can think about a visit to Rome.

The roman history offers an alternative and very suggestive tourist route along the Via Flaminia road.

The Via Flaminia road is an old consular road which connects Rome to Rimini.
It was started towards 220 a.C. to join the Adriatic coast quickly.

The road, long beyond 200 roman miles , from Rome, cross the Door Fontinalis, close to Campidoglio and continue towards Milvio Bridge. From there, it goes up the valley of Tevere crossing Ombrie.
In Narni it splits into two ways: “Flaminia vetus” and “Flaminia nova”.
The two roads join in Foligno and continue towards Nocera Umbra, Gualdo Tadino, Fossato di Vico, to cross Appennini at the step of Scheggia (Mr. 632). In 76 d.C. gallery of Furlo allowed an easier crossing.

The Via Flaminia road goes down on the Adriatic slope along the valley from Metauro: Cantiano, Cagli, Fossombrone, Fano, Pesaro and finally, Rimini, outpost of strategies of expansion of republican and imperial Rome.
Modern viability is often superimposed on old one, but for long features, the Via Flaminia road is still quite visible.
The Arch of Augusto, one of the oldest arcs of trionphe, marked the end of the Flaminia and the beginning of girded of Rimini.

The city is identified at such point with the Roman history, that either the Arch of Augusto, or Tiberio Bridge (14 d.c.) are both symbols of the city.

Have a nice time!
