TIL: The Romans had a connecting tunnel under the English Channel..
This is such a great map, totally made my day
The square lake!
In Rome we still have those 6 roads going out of the city, but via popilia is now called Tuscolana.
As a Roman is also funny to read the names of the other roads, because each name feels like a whatever road name that you could find in the city today.
I don’t think I’d fancy trying to walk the Dubris – Gesioracum interchange. Might be a bit damp, even by the standards of the London Underground.
I have been on a mountain near “Salamantica”, I think 1700 m high (the base level of the region is about 900m), absolutely stunning to see there paved chunks still holding up 2000 years later.
Now, we just have to turn this into a high speed rail network.
I don’t know for other countries but in Italy they’re all still used, roman roads are, for the most part, todays State roads system (a type of fast road but not highway).
what is the price of monthly ticket
All roads leads to Rome
UK literally said “L” 💀
I miss Ireland
Its interesting to see on this map where exactly the Limes was. Theres suddenly just a complete lack of roads, all throughout most of germany.

“All roads lead to Rome”..
Via Appia goes straight south in the first part.
The direction is so precise that the Napolenic army used it as a reference line for drawing an exact meridian. That meridian allowed to better study earth shape and the meridian distance between Rome, Rimini and Barcelona.
