The Vicarello Cups are four silver cups discovered in 1852 in the healing sanctuary and baths of Aquae Apollinares, at Vicarello, Italy, near Lake Bracciano. Their appearance recalls Roman milestones and they are engraved with the route from ancient Gades (modern Cadiz) to Rome.

Vicarello Cups in the context of Itinerarium
An itinerarium (plural: itineraria) was an ancient Roman travel guide in the form of a listing of cities, villages (vici) and other stops on the way, including the distances between each stop and the next. Surviving examples include the Antonine Itinerary and the Bordeaux Itinerary. The term later evolved and took wider meanings (see later meanings below).
These text-based route descriptions were complemented by physical markers on the ground in the form of the miliarium, or Roman milestone, which confirmed the distances along the described route.
