ound in the church of S.Maria Maggiore at Cesiomaggiore in 1786, where it was used to bear the altar dedicated to Saint Antonio, the second milestone says:

Ti(berius) Claudius Caesar Augustus German(icus) Pont(ifex) max(imus) trib(unicia) pot(estate) VI co(n)s(ul) desig(natus) IIII imp(erator) XI p(ater) P(atriae) (vi)am Claudiam Augustam quam Drusus pater Alpibus bello patefactis derexserat munit ad Altino usque ad flumen Danuvium m(ilia) p(assuum) CCCL Sovereign

Tiberio Claudio Cesare Augusto Germanico has been conferred the title of pontifex maximus for six times, of consul for four times, of emperor for eleven times, of homeland Father. Marked out by his father Druso leading his military campaigns beyond the Alps, the via Claudia Augusta ran from the Po to the Danube river for 350 miles.

hese two texts seem rather similar. They only differ in the starting point of the route, respectively near the Po river and in Altino. As a consequence, several authors have put forward different and conflicting hypotheses about the exact itinerary.
