Road networks in Cyrenaica during the Greek and Roman periods: Cyrene in context

This article investigates the ancient Greek and Roman roads in Cyrenaica, both major and minor, with a particular focus on the roads leading to Cyrene. Some of the roads were recorded, in terms of their location and extension, in 2015 and 2017 during the doctoral project “Cyrene Archaeological Surveys” (CAS) that the Author conducted in the suburban zone of the ancient city of Cyrene. This article reviews the road courses leading to settlements located in the hinterlands, and links these routes with Cyrene’s roads to create an overall view of the road network of the entire area.
