Via Aquitania

Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus, along with Quintus Fabius Maximus Allobrogicus, successfully defeated the Allobroges and Arverni tribes in Gaul in 121 BC.

In 118 BC, he founded the town of Narbo Martius, modern-day Narbonne, and built the Via Domitia to make travel to Spain easier.

It is unknown who commissioned the Via Aquitania, but it is likely that Domitius Ahenobarbus built it in order to easily exact tributes from the newly conquered tribes.

It is bordered on the south and east by the Pyrenees,[3] on the west by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the north by the Loire River.

The Via Aquitania was the main trade route which connected the Atlantic seaways to Toulouse and Narbonne.
