The aim of this paper is to study affine homogeneous geodesics. Because in the affine case there is no scalar product available, the algebraic machinery which was developed for the Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian case can not be used. The authors propose another method, in order to study the homogeneos geodesics in homogeneous affine manifolds. This approach leads to certain new results, specially in dimension \(2\). Also the problem of canonical re-parametrization of affine homogeneous geodesics is solved.
