Summary/Abstract: One of the main routes of communication in Moesia Inferior, which connected the Greek colonies on the seashore, was the coastal road; its course can be reconstructed mainly on the basis of cartographic and epigraphic sources, but also on the basis of field survey. The data collected in recent years allow us to trace other land routes between the coast and the interior of the province.The stages of maintenance and use of these roads are established based on the epigraphic documentation currently available, which consists primarily of milestones. At the same time, the re examination of previously published inscriptions allows us to formulate new hypotheses regarding the road network in this part of the province, as well as to re discuss the location of some ancient toponyms.
