Roman roads in Cyprus
Cyprus was a senatorial province from 22 BC, wealthy from copper — the metal takes its name from the island. Roman roads linked the coastal cities of Paphos, Salamis and Kition, and the Peutinger Table, a medieval copy of a late-antique road map, records the circuit of the island in some detail.
What to see
The mosaics in the Houses of Dionysos, Theseus and Aion at Nea Paphos are among the finest in the eastern Mediterranean and sit within a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Salamis on the east coast keeps a gymnasium, baths and a theatre, and the two were joined by the coastal road the Peutinger Table records.
