This section belonged to a secondary branch, diverticulum, of the main road that joined Olissipo to Bracara, being related to the need to dispose of metal products exploited not only in the municipalities of Viseu and Vouzela (tin) but also those that were exploited in this region of the Carved (lead, silver and copper), especially from the 3rd century onwards (Vaz, 1997, p. 398). The route, which came from Viseu, the seat of a civitas, followed the left bank of the Vouga, passed in the neighboring municipality of Oliveira de Frades through Reigoso, Feira, Ponte, Benfeitas, Pisco and then entered the municipality of Sever do Vouga passing through Ereira , Carved, Weasels, then bending southwards until you reach Cabeço do Vouga, thus always staying on the same bank of the river. Around Cabeço do Vouga you reached the road that connected Olisipo to Bracara.
