Bible Question: Greetings Emmaus, Idon't think that that is what this is referring to. I have "Holman Bood of Biblical charts, Maps and Reconstructions" and on the maps of the missionary journeys of Paul it has a route mapped on it from the Adriatic Sea through Thessalonica, Apollonia, Philippi to Byzantium on the Black Sea. On the key to the map it labels it "Route of the Egnatain Way". This would have to be, I believe, around the time of Paul. St Ignatius was much later. prayon |
Bible Answer: Prayon, The Via Egnatia was a Roman Road across norther Greece. "When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia... City: Both cities were on the Egnatian Way, a major route running east-west across present-day northern Greece. Each was about a day's journey from the next (30 miles)." There is an out of print book by that title. Your best best is going to be any studies on Roman roads, probably at a university library. Thirty years ago I did a research paper on the Roman roads of England for a Roman History course I was taking. Easier research since because the local British research was in English. I will keep looking. |
