The Secondary Roads of Potaissa. Case Study II: Trial Trench on the Road Segment from Livadă-Valea Agrișului-Iara (Cluj County)

Summary/Abstract: The current article brings together the results of an archaeologic diagnose done on the surfaceof one of the secondary roads (viae vicinales) located in the western proximity of the Roman centre from Potaissa(Turda). It was identified during 2018 for a length of 13.04 km (8.8 Roman miles): the secondary road sectorLivadă-Valea Agrișului-Iara (Cluj County) connects a series of rural settlements from Dacia’s western border– the field research of this road had led to the identification of four new points with Roman discoveries andto the contextualisation of the ruins of a Roman bridge almost intact. Thus, the second phase of the researchconducted in 2018 involved revealing and cutting a section in this secondary road, in the sector between Livadăand ValeaAgrișului – the very good state of conversation of this sector allowed for this.
