    “All roads lead to Rome? They are all straight? We still walk Roman roads in the region today? These are widely held assumptions, even among academics,”[said one of the authors.]
    Such claims have prevented historians from interrogating the Roman road system [they also said, 3rd link above] “We just assume that Rome was at the center of a spider’s web of roads, and that’s simply not true.”
    Last year, [they] created a digital, publicly accessible map of the Roman Empire’s nearly 190,000 miles of roads in 150 C.E. For their recent study, the researchers analyzed topographical data and historical context to make judgments about that network…”
