Description

The remains of the Roman roads are a powerful reminder of the travel and communications system that was needed to rule a vats and diverse empire. Yet, few people have questioned just how the Romans--both military and civilians--traveled or examined their geographical understanding in an era that offered a greatly increased potential for moving around and a much larger choice of destinations. The six expert contributors in this volume provide new perspectives on these issues, and some controversial arguments; for instance, travel was not limited to the elite and maps as we know them did not exist in the Empire. With more than forty photographs, maps, and illustrations, this cutting-edge collection provides a new understanding of the role of travel and of the nature of geographical knowledge in the Roman world.
