Catherine Fletcher: The Roads to Rome

About the show

What have the Romans ever done for us? Well, the road network is one answer – Roman roads transformed the cultures and fates of a vast collection of people across Europe and beyond. This is the first book to explore 2000 years of history through one of the greatest networks ever built as we travel from Scotland to Cadiz and Istanbul to Rome itself.

Caroline Fletcher is Professor of History at Manchester Metropolitan University and a regular broadcaster on the BBC.
