The expansion of the Roman empire depended on travel. But it could be very dangerous and unpleasant.  Julius Caesar was captured by pirates and held for ransom as a young man. Bandits roamed the roads and many wayside inns were not safe.

Independent. Reading prompt: What sorts of difficulties did travelers encounter in the Roman Empire? Which means of travel would you choose?  Where would you try to spend a night on the road?  Keep in mind that the authors in the text were upper class men. How might things be different for less affluent people and women?

Read the philosopher Seneca's and the poet Horace's account of their  travels pp. 154-157 in your textbook. Then answer thoughtfully the two questions at the end.
Whole group: discuss answers.

A Roman mile was 92% as long as a modern mile.
