In its heyday, the Roman Empire covered a vast area of land and to maintain communication and connectivity throughout the Empire, the Romans constructed a complex road network, often improving and incorporating pre-existing local infrastructure. Ancient transport infrastructure has the potential to provide insight into the historical development of local-global interactions. In this small seminar, our guest lecturers will explore different approaches to studying Roman transport infrastructure.
