The Via Hadriana was a route established by Hadrian running from Antinopolis to the Red Sea at Berenike. It was finished in 137 AD. Traces of the road line were noted by Couyat (1910)^[1] and Murray (1925)^[2] who recorded the sites of several small mansios in the southern part of the road, but few in the north and none at all on the west-east stretch between Antinopolis and the coast. Many of these road stations had fortified watering points (hydreumata).^[3]
