[DCRM-L] Latin street address. Capitalize via?

[Noah Sheola]

When transcribing Latin, and therefore applying English capitalization
rules, should the word "via" in an imprint like "Parisiis :  Apud Simonem
Benard, viâ Jacobaeâ ..." be capitalized? Trawling through oclc for
examples, it seems like most, or certainly many, dcrm:b catalogers, leave
it lowercase. But wouldn't the English convention of capitalizing street
names would require Via to be uppercase? Or is the noun "via" in some
obscure semantic sense, not really part of the name of the locale?
