Title: Travel times & routes within the Roman Empire
Post by: AKULA on 26 May 2021, 07:41:00 AM

Want to know how long a journey within the Roman Empire would have taken?  The route? The cost?

Stanford have built a model

I was working on some "Broken Legions" style RPG games for my group this summer, so this is a great resource!

I'm the sort of nerdy person that likes this.

Hmm, 79 days on foot from Roma to Luguvalium (Hadrian's wall) or 30 days by ship.
