Brimming with life and drama, this is a magnificent journey into two thousand years of history, from the acclaimed and beloved historian of Europe

'All roads lead to Rome.' It's a medieval proverb, but it's also true- today's European roads still follow the networks of the ancient empire, stitching together our histories and continuing to inspire our imaginations.

Over the two thousand years since they were first built, the roads have been walked by crusaders and pilgrims, liberators and dictators, but also by tourists and writers, refugees and artists. Catherine Fletcher shows how the roads - as channels of trade and travel, routes of conquest and creativity - forever transformed the cultures, and intertwined the fates, of a vast panoply of people across Europe and beyond.

The Roads to Rome is a magnificent journey into a past that remains intimately connected to our present. Travelling from Scotland to Cadiz, from Istanbul to Rome, we meander and march through a series of nations and empires that have risen and fallen. Along the way, we encounter spies and bandits, scheming innkeepers, a Byzantine noblewoman on the run, young aristocrats on their Grand Tour, a conquering Napoleon, Keats and the Shelleys, the abolitionist Frederick Douglass, and even Mussolini on his motorbike.

Reflecting on his own walk on the Appian Way, Charles Dickens observed that here is 'a history in every stone that strews the ground'. Based on outstanding original research, and brimming with life and drama, this is the first book to explore two thousand years of history through one of the greatest imperial networks ever built.

Becareful of the shoe size
Size: 8, Color: Black
the size was not what i expected, most shoes i wear have always been a size 8, but this one was a bit tight. I asked a question on the page if the size is based on UK or US since there's a 1 size difference. but it said it was US standard reference. perhaps buying a size 9 would fix this issue for me. The quality of the shoes however is very great, compared to the basic shoe affordable brands you get this one has better quality, they're light and great whether you're stationary or actively jogging or walking. just the size was lacking in fit.

Not recommended
Size: 9.5, Color: Navy
Not comfortable and hurt my ankle. Makes weird leather sounds while walking. Looks good but go for a different shoe if you are looking for comfort.
