The artery had its influence on the Romanization of the region it traversed, and was a major connection to the northeastern province of Noricum.
Via Augusta Via Augusta (also known as Via Herculea or Via Exterior) was a Roman road crossing all the Hispania Province, from Cádiz in the southern tip of current Spain, to the Coll de Panissars, where it crossed the Pyrenees close to the Mediterranean Sea, and joined the Via Domitia.

Via Aurelia Via Aurelia was the Roman road which passed out of ancient Rome through the Porta Aurelia in the Aurelian Walls and ran to the coast a little southeast of modern Palidoro and then followed a coastal route north to Vada Volterrana. There the via Aemilia extended the route to Genoa.
Via Caecilia Via Caecilia, an ancient highroad of Italy, which diverged from the Via Salaria at the 35th mile (56 km) from Rome, and ran by Amiternum to the Adriatic coast, passing probably by Hadria. A branch ran to Interamna Praetuttiorum (Teramo) and thence probably to the sea at Castrum Novum (Giulianova), a distance of about 151 miles (243 km) from Rome.
Via Campesina Via Campesina (from Spanish la vĂ­a campesina, the campesino way) describes itself as "an international movement which coordinates peasant organizations of small and middle-scale producers, agricultural workers, rural women, and indigenous communities from Asia, Africa, America, and Europe". They are a coalition of over 100 organizations, advocating family-farm-based sustainable agriculture and were the group that first coined the term "food sovereignty".
Via Cassia The Via Cassia was an important Roman road striking out of the Via Flaminia near the Milvian Bridge in the immediate vicinity of Rome and, passing not far from Veii traversed Etruria.

Via Domitia The Via Domitia was the first Roman road built in Gaul, which is in modern day France. It was constructed in 118 BC by the proconsul, Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus, and was built around the time of the first Roman colony in Gaul, Colonia Narbo Martius, which is now known as Narbonne.
Via Giulia The via Giulia, mostly in the rione Regola, Rome, (the northern part belongs to the rione Ponte) projected by Pope Julius II but only partly carried out, was the first attempt since Antiquity to pierce a new thoroughfare through the heart of Rome and the first European example since Antiquity of urban renewal. Via Giulia runs from the Ponte SistoThe Ponte Sisto, built to the order of Pope Sixtus IV by the architect Baccio Pontelli, and opened in 1475, was the only new bridge spanning the Tiber built between the fall of Rome and the nineteenth century.
Via Julia Augusta Via Julia Augusta is the name given to the Roman road formed by the merging of the Via Aemilia Scauri with the Via Postumia. Named after a member of Julio-Claudian dynasty or Iulii family, with Julia either as their family adjective or after one of the women in that dynasty named Julia.
Via Labicana Via Labicana, an ancient highroad of Italy, leading east southeast from Rome. It seems possible that the road at first led to Tusculum, that it was then prolonged to Labici, and later still became a road for through traffic; it may even have superseded the Via Latina as a route to the southeast, for, while the distance from Rome to their main junction at Ad Bivium (or to another junction at Compitum Anagninum) is practically identical, the summit level of the former is 725 feet lower than that of the latter, a little to the west of the pass of Mons Algidus.
Via Lattea The Via Lattea (Milky Way) is a winter sports area in the Italian and French Alps, straddling the French-Italian border at Claviere/Montgenèvre.

Vibration theory of olfaction The Vibration theory of smell is that the quality of a particular odour arises from olfactory receptors' responding to frequencies of vibrations of odour molecules in the infrared range. The theory is opposed to the more widely accepted shape theory of olfaction in which the shape of odorant molecules allow them to fit into membrane proteins in the olfactory receptors.

The vibrational partition function is only well-defined in model systems where the vibrational motion is relatively uncoupled with the system's other degrees of freedom.
Vibrational transition A vibrational transition is an abrupt change in vibrational energy in quantum physics. Like all other properties of a quantum particle, vibrational energy is quantized, meaning it can only equal certain discrete values, which correspond to different energy states.

Vibromassage Vibromassage (also called vibratory massage, vibra-massage, vibration therapy) is a type of massage based on the use of mechanical devices for vibration therapy, which pass vibration onto the body surface that is being massaged. Vibromassage has a positive impact over human neuromuscular apparatus because during the process of vibromassage patients' muscles work, but lactic acid does not accumulate; thus, vibromassage results in immediate relaxation, stress relief, pain relief, decongestion, and weight loss.
Vibronic coupling In theoretical chemistry, the vibronic coupling terms (which are neglected within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation) are proportional to the interaction between electronic and nuclear motions of molecules. The term "vibronic" originates from the concatenation of the terms "vibrational" and "electronic".
Vibronic transition A vibronic transition denotes the simultaneous change of vibrational and electronic quantum number in a molecule. According to the separability of electronic and nuclear motion in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, the vibrational transition and electronic transition may be described separately.

The data recorded in this way must correlated to convert the extended source signal into an impulse.
Vibroweapon In the fictional Star Wars Expanded Universe, vibroweapons are a group of melee weapons which utilize a generator to produce high-speed sonic vibrations through the blade.
