The earliest roads in Cyprus go back to the Bronze Age, and by the
end of the Hellenistic period the road network encircled the entire
island. More roads were added and older roads rebuilt during the
Roman period to serve the needs of the provincial administration as
well as of the individual cities. This book, the first on its
subject, traces the development of the Cypriot road network over a
period of a thousand years, drawing on a combination of
archaeological, epigraphic and literary sources. Separate chapters
deal with travellers and life on the road, transport technology and
the legal and administrative context of road building. It is often
assumed that the primary purpose of Roman road building was
military domination, but, as this study demonstrates, road
development in Cyprus is best understood in terms of communication
between cities and their territories and the day-to-day exchanges
between town and countryside.
