In our contemporary, postmodern
world, a world where we are used
to see all values and certainties
crumble down or melt like snow
in the sun, I feel I ought to start
by providing the readers with a
rock-like certainty: I am not a
historian. I am just curious. And
one day, out of my curiosity, I came
across a map of the consular roads,
the highways of ancient Rome.
