Road to Rome : Travel and Travellers Between England and Italy in the Anglo-Saxon Centuries

The idea of organised mass travel is one that does not really come about until the High Middle Ages, and this study looks at the mechanics of travel before then. It asks questions such as who travelled and why and examines the principle routes between England and Rome and the problems experienced by travellers over land during this period. The appendices contain lists of the known travellers to Rome and their routes, and a documentary appendix of sources which describe such travel.Matthews, Stephen is the author of 'Road to Rome : Travel and Travellers Between England and Italy in the Anglo-Saxon Centuries', published 2007 under ISBN 9781407301181 and ISBN 1407301187.
