All roads lead to Rome is a medieval proverb, but it's also today's European roads still follow the networks of the ancient empire-and these ancient roads continue to grip our modern imaginations as a physical manifestation of Rome's extraordinary greatness. Over the two thousand years since they were first built, these roads have been walked by crusaders and pilgrims, liberators and dictators, but also by tourists and writers, refugees and artists. As channels of trade and travel-and routes for conquest and creativity-Catherine Fletcher reveals how these roads forever transformed the cultures, and intertwined the fates, of a vast panoply of people across Europe and beyond.
