The course after the first six miles from Rome is not taken by any modern road, but it can be clearly traced from remains of pavement and buildings.
The Via Labicana's summit just west of the Mount Algidus pass, calls for some 22 metres (72 ft) less of a climb overall.
[1] Via Labicana entered Rome through the Aurelian walls via the ancient monumental gate of Porta Prenestina, and reached, after an internal part, the Servian Wall, entering through the Porta Esquilina, decorated with the arch of Gallienus.
A statue of Augustus as pontifex maximus found at a villa of Livia on this road is known as the "Via Labicana type" and is housed at the National Roman Museum.
There are the remains of at least one Roman bridge along the road, which crosses the Fosso del Giardinetto 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) east of Rome.
