Milliarium Aureum

The ''Milliarium Aureum'' (, ''golden milestone'') was a monument, probably of marble or gilded bronze, erected by the Emperor Caesar Augustus near the Temple of Saturn in the central Forum of Ancient Rome. All roads were considered to begin at this monument and all distances in the Roman Empire were measured relative to it.〔Cassius Dio 54.8.4; Plutarch, ''Galba'' 24.4; Pliny, ''Naturalis Historia'' 3.66; Tacitus, ''Historiae'' 1.27; Suetonius, ''Otho'' 6.2.〕 On it perhaps were listed all the major cities in the empire and distances to them,〔No direct ancient evidence seems to support this interpretation: Z. Mari, 'Miliarium Aureum', in E. M. Steinby (ed.) ''Lexicon Topographicum Urbis Romae'' (1996) vol. 3, pp. 250-251 (Italian). ISBN 88-7140-096-8; 'Miliarium Aureum,' in L. Haselberger (ed.) ''Mapping Augustan Rome'' p. 167.〕 though the monument's precise location and inscription remain matters of debate among historians.
According to Schaaf,〔Schaaf, P. (1867/1886). Ante-nicene fathers: The Apostolic fathers, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus (A. & Donaldson, J, Eds ). (reprint ) Grand Rapids, MI, USA: CCEL. 1886, v.1 p. 1〕 the phrase "all roads lead to Rome"〔This phrase is the modern wording of what appears to be a phrase of medieval origin; see the Wiktionary entry for details.〕 is a reference to the ''Milliarium Aureum'' - the specific point to which all roads were said to lead. Today, a marble structure speculated to be the base of the milestone can be seen in the Roman Forum.
==History==

Augustus, as ''curator viarum'', erected the monument in 20 BC.〔Cassius Dio, ''Historiae Romanae'', 54.8.4〕 It probably received the name ''Milliarium Aureum'' soon after its inauguration. It symbolized the starting point of the Roman road system to the rest of Italy and to all the imperial possessions.
