Fig 9. Radial structure of the road network in the late sixteenth/early seventeenth centuries.

Notes: The categorization of the 1600 road network (right) was done by aggregating information from the three available sources for the period suggesting the methodology proposed by Menéndez Pidal [18] and Braudel [149]. In red are the main sections of road that appear in the three sources, in green are the secondary roads that appear in two, and blue are the less important roads that appear in a single source.
