Guía de viaje por el Imperio romano

Greetings from ancient Rome. My name is Marcus Sidonius Falco, a noble Roman by birth. With the help of my assistant, Dr. Jerry Toner, I have written an account of my journey through the Roman Empire at its height. Join us on our journey east to enjoy the great festivals of Greece and explore the cultural hub of Athens. Join us to visit the jewel of Ephesus and share our journey down the Nile to see the ancient pyramids and the talking statue of the god Memnon. Traveling west through the granary of the Empire, you will delight in the fecundity of Hispania, from which we will learn how the gold and good horses of that province are extracted, and the beauty of Gaul, before crossing to Britannia, where also he will suffer the worst that provincial life has to offer. Not everything will be smooth sailing and you will experience the terrors of sea travel, bedbugs and lousy food from roadside inns, and the dangers of bandits. My guide offers practical advice to survive all these difficulties. It is the Roman Empire that has made all these trips possible. Its excellent communications network, both by road and by sea, has generated easy and safe circulation. We Romans have mapped the world, built bridges over rivers and cut roads through mountains. However, almost none of those who want to know the highlights of the empire have any idea where to start. This guide will tell you everything you need to know.
