While we're on the subject of Rome, I found this: http://orbis.stanford.edu/ From the description: The model consists of 751 sites, most of them urban settlements but also including important promontories and mountain passes, and covers close to 10 million square kilometers (~4 million square miles) of terrestrial and maritime space. 268 sites serve as sea ports. The road network encompasses 84,631 kilometers (52,587 miles) of road or desert tracks, complemented by 28,272 kilometers (17,567 miles) of navigable rivers and canals. Messing around with it really made me appreciate how far-flung the empire was, and just how long it took to get information anywhere. How they ever hoped to keep control of Britain or the farther flung inland provinces is beyond me.
