Roman Road from Saintes to Périgueux

Roman Road from Saintes to Périgueux comprises Roman or ancient roads, both hypothetical and verified, connecting the ancient cities of Mediolanum Santonum (present-day Saintes) and Vesunna (Vésone, the current district of Périgueux) in France. Specific segments of these primary and secondary routes are referenced in written sources such as the Peutinger Table. These routes have been corroborated through archaeological and epigraphical evidence. Since the 18th century, they have been the subject of considerable conjecture.

The area in question encompasses three departments: Charente-Maritime, Charente, and Dordogne.

The route between Saintes and Périgueux with the best-known route is called the Chemin Boisné (or Chemin Boisne) in its passage through Charente. Another variant, passing further south through Pons and clearly of Roman construction, is recognized up to Guimps in Charente. However, continuing this route to Périgueux via Brossac, Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, or Ribérac remains hypothetical.
