History of Europe

If you want to travel through Ancient Rome, you will need this map

As you already have some useful phrases and expressions to travel to Ancient Rome, today I am going to provide you with a map with the Roman roads around the year 125. Of course, to make it easier for you to handle, it is a version in the style of the Current metro line plans. To take into account:for short trips or around the city you can move in human-drawn litters (a few slaves acting as porters with another opening a path among the plebs); for medium and even short but urgent journeys, the horse, the biga (light chariot pulled by two horses best known for racing in the Circus), the essedum (similar to the biga but for two standing passengers) and the cisium , the taxi of the time, an open vehicle with two wheels, drawn by two horses and space for two people to sit (the cisarius or taxi driver and the client) on a kind of box where the client who rented it kept his luggage. If you opt for public transport or if you travel with the family, better a raeda (a four-wheeled cart with benches to sit on and space for luggage but with load limitation by law). You also have, if you can afford it, the carpentum , the caravan or ruolette of the time, a closed car with a roof to travel comfortably in which you can eat and drink so as not to have to stop at the mansions, and the carruca , Rome's limousine, somewhat smaller than the carpentum.
