Valorization of archeotouristic axes in Transylvania given by the Roman roads and hydrographic axes

In the last few years, history, culture and all the heritage that remained from the Antiquity has become an important factor in developing a type of tourism on the Romanian territory. This segment of tourism can be common in cities and big poles of development. Roman roads were built based on good geographical strategy. Most Transylvanian roads can be seen along main hydrographic axes crossing the rural part of the region. Based on the quantitative-qualitative method, which is common for tourism valorization, this research investigated specific indicators and sub-indicators. Moreover, one of the main purposes of the article was to highlight the fact that Roman road axes could be included in a sustainable development of archeotourism. In that case, the Hilary du Cross model was used with which each single road along the hydrographic axes was analyzed. Roman roads have long been studied in Romania and Transylvania, but no multidisciplinary research has been carried out that can highlight them in such manner, making them valuable for the culture.
