A new Latin inscription found south ofAptera documents an Early Trajanic stage in the development of the Roman road network of western Crete. A reconsideration ofAptera and its hinterland provides the topographical context for this milestone, which apparently was found in situ. The text records direct imperial intervention and generosity. The mileage figure suggests the location of Aptera's port, and supports the theory that Cretan milestones indicated the distance to turning points in the road. This road system linked western Crete with the capital at Gortyn, after passing through the territories ofAptera, Lappa, and Eleutherna
