  Abstract:  The Roman Imperial Road between Sutoru and Porolissum. Cartographic and Topographic Study. The Roman roads served for the military strategy of the empire during its full development, respectively for provisioning the Roman legions camped in Dacia Porolissensis, but also for affording fast connections with other legions. Roman roads represent an argument for the articulation of Transylvanian landscapes, but their functionality should not be substituted nowadays, so it is on us to build a scientific movement to motivate the necessity of their preserving today. This paper analyzes the route of the main imperial Roman road from Dacia between Sutoru and Porolissum. This represents a sector which is not very well known, because the information is poor. Although, based on Austrian military maps, modern plans and maps and aerial photos, we can today establish, in certain sectors, the route of this road.

Keywords: Roman roads, cartography, archaeological topography, landscape, territorial characteristics, construction.
