The first Emperor Augustus famously said of Rome that he found a city built in brick but left it in marble – all that money had to come from somewhere.

Pliny the Elder complained that the Roman taste for exotic silks, perfumes and pearls consumed the city. ‘India and China and Arabia together drain our Empire. That is the price that our luxuries and our womankind cost us.’ It was the construction of the Via Egnatia and attendant road-systems that physically allowed Rome to expand eastwards, while the capture of Egypt intensified this magnetic pull. Rome had got the oriental bug, and Byzantium, entering into a truce with the Romans in 129 BC following the Roman victory in the Macedonian Wars that kick-started Gnaeus Egnatius’ construction of the Via Egnatia, was a critical and vital destination before all longer Asian journeys began.
