Via Augusta (also known as Via Herculea or Via Exterior) was a Roman road crossing all of 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. The road stretched around 1,500 kilometres (900 mi)), passing through the cities of Gades (Cádiz), Carthago Nova (Cartagena), Valentia (Valencia), Saguntum (Sagunto), Tarraco (Tarragona), Barcino (Barcelona), and Gerunda (Girona). It had branches passing through Hispalis (Seville) (where it joined the Via Lusitanorum), Corbuba (Córdoba), and Emerita Augusta (Mérida). The road was named after Emperor Augustus, who ordered it renovated between 8 BC and 2 BC. It was mainly a commercial road. Its path is currently followed by the N-340 road and the A-7 highway. North of Tarragona there remains a Roman Triumphal arch, the Arc de Berà, around which the road divides. At Martorell, the ancient Via crosses the river Llobregat on the Pont del Diable which dates from the High Middle Ages (1289 CE) in its current form.
Augusta is the feminine form of Augustus in Latin. It is used in many European languages as a feminine given name.
The Roman Empire included the honorific Augusta in the name of many colonies and provincial capitals, at first after the Emperor Augustus and then after the Roman title augustus borne by (senior) emperors. These many cities were then distinguished, usually by appending the name of the people people nearby.

Make up stains and stomach pain
Cold sweat, eleven a.m.
Here I am, cruising again
Tonight's the night of god's lonely men
Break up stains and heavy strain
Bad luck, two p.m.
Here I am, cruising again
Talking alone, shaking in vain
Forget your name, baby
forget your name, buddy
forget your name, daddy
forget your name, lordy
forget your name
relieve the strain
Forget your name, baby
forget your name, buddy
forget your name, daddy
forget your name, lordy
And everything will be the same
Make up stains and stomach pain
Cold sweat, eleven a.m.
Here I am, cruising again
Talking alone, shaking in vain
Tonight I'm waiting for the rain
to clear my thoughts, wash away the stain
Wash everything down the drain
Forget your name, relieve the strain
Forget your name, baby
forget your name, buddy
forget your name, daddy
forget your name, lordy
forget your name
relieve the strain
Forget your name, baby
forget your name, buddy
forget your name, daddy
forget your name, lordy
