| According 
              to the hypothesis by Alpago Novello:
  the 
              route follows the mountain bike itinerary and therefore goes along 
              the Roman route backwards The Via Claudia Augusta may have reached 
              Cesio Minore and gone by Cesio Maggiore. From here towards Marsiai 
              and then to Formegan, on a crossroads between the Claudia Augusta 
              and a Roman trade route going from Feltre to Belluno (the meeting 
              point may have been the old church). From Formegan to Campo, the 
              route may have crossed diagonally the several pieces of ground where 
              excavations keep bringing to light archaeological relics such as 
              tombs and coins. After the stream Vesés, indicating, together with 
              the Terche stream, the boundaries of the two municipalities of Feltria 
              and Bellunum, the route goes by the present church of S. Marco, 
              known as "S.Marco di Via Pagana". Slightly southwards is the small 
              church of S. Lorenzo di Grigher (1393), considered in a neutral 
              territory in respect of Belluno and Feltre and therefore deputed 
              as place for the bishop's election of the two dioceses formerly 
              united. (After a long period of separation they are still today 
              ruled by the same diocese). The route towards Nave (the toponym 
              indicates a pontoon bridge to cross the Piave) leads then to Tiago, 
              crosses its centre, continues towards S.Donato (Longobard church) 
              and reaches the basin of the Zumelle Castle, whose structure certainly 
              presents Roman origin. |  | According 
              to the hypothesis by  
              Luciano Bosio:
  oming 
              from the plain and after having gone by Falzè di Piave, the Via 
              may have continued along the left side of the Piave River and then 
              entered the valley. Going by Valdobbiadene it may have kept the 
              left side and have gone through Vas (it may have not passed through 
              the Zumelle Castle and Praderadego, as suggested by Alpago Novello). 
              The following route leads to Vas - Marziai - Busche - Cesiomaggiore 
              - Feltre - Artèn - Castel Tesino.
