Via Agrippa

About

It is called the Roman way of Agrippa, in Latin via Agrippensis, a Roman way built in the first century BC in Gaul by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, to whom Octave (future Emperor Augustus) had entrusted the governorate of the conquests of Julius Caesar. Agrippa is at the origin of four routes from Lyon (Lugdunum), residence of the Roman governor, to Amiens, Saintes, Arles and Trier, i.e. north, west, south and northeast, forming what is also known as the Agrippa network. The name via Agrippa that is sometimes used is wrong from the point of view of Latin grammar.
