Description

The first comprehensive examination of ancient Roman traffic systems, this illustrated volume explores the construction of Roman roads and the diverse road users of the Roman Empire, including civilians, wagons, animals, the cursus publicus, commercial merchants, and military forces. Through detailed analysis, the book reveals crucial insights into town planning across ancient cities, contrasting the narrow pathways of older settlements with the wider, chessboard-patterned streets engineered to accommodate heavy traffic flow. The study addresses toll points and city gates as traffic management measures and provides a thorough understanding of how the Romans organised and controlled movement through their vast empire. This scholarly work combines archaeological evidence with historical documentation to illuminate the complex logistics underlying Roman urban life and infrastructure.
