The first book to ever examine ancient Roman traffic, this
well-illustrated volume looks in detail at the construction of
Roman road, and studies the myriad of road users of the Roman
Empire: civilians, wagons and animals, the cursus publicus,
commercial use and the army. Through this examination, Cornelis van
Tilburg reveals much of town planning in ancient cities: the narrow
paths of older cities, and the wider, chessboard-patterned streets
designed to sustain heavy traffic. He discusses toll points and
city gates as measures taken to hamper traffic, and concludes with
a discussion as to why the local governments' attempts to regulate
the traffic flow missed their targets of improving the
infrastructure. This book will interest any student, scholar or
enthusiast in Roman history and culture.
