2 Why Rome? The physical centre of the Empire

3 Vitruvius, De architectura VI.1.10-11 Italy, lying between the North and the South, combines the advantages of each, and her pre- eminence is well founded and beyond dispute. So by her wisdom she can repel the assaults of the northern barbarians, by her courage she can defeat the ploys of the southerners. It was therefore, a divine intelligence that placed the city of the Roman people in an excellent and temperate country, so that she might acquire the right to rule over the whole world. Dio Cassius, Roman History LIV.8 At this time, Augustus was appointed the Commissioner for all roads in the neighbourhood of Rome. As such, he set up the Golden Milestone… Plutarch, Life of Galba 24 He went down into the Forum, where stands the golden column which is the terminal point of all the roads that pass through Italy.
