Vinicius understood that he must return toward Ustrinum, turn from the Appian Way, cross the river below the city, and go to the Via Portuensis, which led straight to the Trans-Tiber. That was not easy because of the increasing disorder on the Appian Way.
Vinicius belátta, hogy vissza kell mennie Ustrinumi felé, ott le kell kanyarodnia a Via Appiáról, a város alatt át kell kelnie a folyón, s úgy eljutnia a Via Portuensisre, amely egyenesen a Transtiberisre vezet.
