The Roman believed that
their first king, Romulus, had been carried up into heaven on his death
and that he had been made into a god. They also believed that he had sent them
a message saying that they must learn the art of war in order to make ROME the
capital of the world.
As they set about to fulfil
their destiny as world conquerors, it did not take them long to identify the need
for roads to allow the army swift access to new territories and, of course, to
Rome. Thus it was the army with its skilled engineers who were responsible
for establishing the road network which is still widely used today. There can
be little doubt that the development of roads contributed greatly to the spread
of knowledge and civilisation.
The discovery of the Peutinger
map, thought to be a copy of a much earlier Roman map, confirms the existence
of amazingly accurate maps dating to Roman times. While many writers refer to
their travels, there are few travel books.
Could this be because travel
was too dangerous to undertake for pleasure? Or perhaps such books were not popular.
Or it may be that only the works of a few travellers like Pausanias have survived
to tell their tales. Or there may be some other reason. What is your opinion?

travel in ER2, pp16-19 and p24.
