And lastly, there was a diagonal causeway joining Emerita Augusta with Cesaraugusta.
Navigating the coastline along the extension of the ''Mare Nostrum'' and up to Rome was faster and cheaper than travelling by land. Transport ships enabled the crossing of rivers such as the Guadalquivir to reach Corduba (Córdoba), the Guadiana to reach Emerita Augusta, and the Ebro to arrive in the cities of Cesaraugusta (where the port is visible) and Calagurris.
