let ORBIS plot your chart across the Roman Empire

[Scorpio]

"Have you ever wondered how much it would cost to travel from Londinium to Jerusalem in February during the heyday of the Roman Empire? Thanks to a project helmed by historian Walter Scheidel and developer Elijah Meeks of Stanford University, all of your pressing queries about Roman roadways can be answered! This is ORBIS, an online simulation (and thoroughly brainy time sink) that allows you to chart a route through the Roman Empire circa 200 AD. "

Edit by Mad Doc Morris: Just emphasised the link and added the direct route to ORBIS.
