Via Devana is the name given to a Roman Road in England that ran from Colchester in the south-east, through Cambridge in the interior, and on to Chester in the north-west. These were important Roman military centres and it is conjectured that the main reason the road was constructed was military rather than civilian. The Latin name for Chester is Deva and 'Via Devana' is thus 'The Chester Road'. Colchester was Colonia Victricensis, 'the City of Victory', and lays claim to be the oldest Roman city in Britain. The Via Devana had little civilian rationale and the road eventually fell into disuse as it was not possible to maintain extensive public works following withdrawal of the last Roman legion from Britain in 407. As a result, its route is difficult to find today, especially in its more n

  • La Via Devana fue una calzada romana construida en la provincia imperial de Britania, actual Inglaterra, que se extendía entre Colonia Victricensis (Colchester), en el sureste, y Deva (Chester) en el noroeste, de la cual la vía tomaba el nombre. Ambas poblaciones son consideradas, por algunos, las ciudades más antiguas de ese país. (es)
  • La via Devana era una strada romana in Britannia, che andava da Colonia Victricensis (oggi Colchester) a Deva Victrix (oggi Chester). Entrambe le città erano importanti accampamenti romani ed infatti l'arteria nacque più per esigenze militari che per bisogni civili. (it)
  • Віа Девана (лат. Via Devana) — римська дорога в Британії, що йшла з Colonia Victricensis (зараз Колчестер) в Deva (зараз Честер).Обидва міста були важливими римськими аванпостами в Британії, тому дорога мала більше військове, ніж цивільне значення. Після того, як римляни покинули Британію, дорога занепала, тому її маршрут досить важко встановити, особливо на північній ділянці. (uk)
