I will be walking from Puebla de Sanabria to Santiago in the spring. I know that route follows some Roman roads. Are there any Roman mile markers that anyone has seen?
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Not sure that many of the original ones are left anywhere, though some are -- most of the ones that look Roman are actually modern recreations, in Spain anyway.

I came across a couple of real ones on a section of the Vasco Interior near Burgos, slightly hors-piste.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

Not that I remember, there are some medieval ones . I hear that on the Primitivo there are a lot of surviving markers of all types
