Thanks for giving it a look!

The Roman Road network across the empire made it a reality, but I’m not sure how common it really was at the time, other than shorter commutes. The extent Paul did it was quite likely a very rare feat!

Really great suggestion. I’ve had a few people say the same. I was so caught up in the map I forgot a proper introduction!

Thanks for taking a look at it!

I’ve been fascinated by the Roman Empire and their road network that was unprecedented at this time in history.

Paul was able to traverse thousands of miles along these networks and what he did really changed the course of history. He confronted the Roman Empire at its absolute height, and despite being shipwrecked twice, imprisoned at least three times, beaten and stoned many times… he still carried on. I thought it would be cool to visualize what he accomplished in a unique way.

I believe most of the journeys by land were done by foot. The Roman Roads were unprecedented in history at the time, especially by the 1st century, enabling someone like Paul to actually be able to traverse like he did.

I have plans to include the distances and approx. time for each of the legs.

Thank you so much!

I don’t know of anything like that, but what a cool idea. I have a passion for the Silk Roads as well, and I made an interactive map for it. Soon I will add Marco Polo’s and Ibn Battuta’s routes to it. I really like historical journeys and how they intersect with the modern locations

Thank you for your comment!

I am still working on the legend and having it do exactly like you said. I have to change things up a bit but hopefully I can be able to implement it soon

Thank you for giving my project a look!

What you are working on sounds really interesting. Now you have me thinking on my families genealogy connections…

Thank you!

Yes, it is free through ArcGIS Online, their web-based mapping software

Thanks for checking it out! I have the verse references, with plans to add all the relevant verses within the box as well.

Most of the locations are known historically, however some could benefit with additional sources, such as Malta. I will try to add those as well
