The route of the Roman road from London to Bath is as follows: Londinium (London) to Pontes to Calleva Atrebatum to Spinae to Cunetio to Aquae Sulis.[1] Portions of the original road are extant, and in certain other places all apparent vestiges are absent from view. The road was a significant route for east-west travel in southeast England during the first to the fifth century AD; this road was significant in the Romans' military logistical support infrastructure for transporting men and materials. Thereafter and into the Middle Ages the road was used as a Drovers' road and for extensive trade and transportation.[citation needed]
