Need to get from (ab) here to there (ad) in ancient Rome? Hitch up your horse and cart and set out!

Nice.
That reminds me, I have yet to run a GURPS Rome game. It's yet another on my to-do list.

Been wanting to run a Roma Arcana game since forever myself.

Damn, they haven't added Spain yet... I live Valentia Edetanorum, and it would be neat if I could see the way to Saguntum ;)

We can be thankful that the ancient Romans didn't have the Internet because THEY HAD NOT YET INVENTED LOWER CASE LETTERS YET AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE SHOUTING

Needed this badly, not for a Roman campaign, but Medieval European—not so much had changed, I think; I recall some Roman road-maps still being used by Medieval pilgrims.

And apparently my blood came from very close to Foro Fvlvi, not far from Aqvis Tatelis, which appears to have been the biggest city in North Western Italy.

And the map is in Italian, not Latin. Making this very weird.

I still have GURPS Roman Horror on my to-run list. I need a better plot than the one I have now, and players who would be good for this. Lots of hack and slash around me nowadays.

Not to mention keyboards- 2 "V" keys, and a humungous number pad, although no "0" key.

And when the Romans met my ancestors, they felt the need to withdraw and build a wall.
