	Roman Empire - an introduction to its history - History Forum
		The Roman army and a number of strategically placed forts ensured that the empire was defended against hostile local peoples, and an efficient network of roads was built both to allow troops to move swiftly within the empire and to facilitate trade.

		See The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah: a geotechnical perspective (a journal article formerly on line, but now available only from Elsevier, whose two aims in existence are thwarting the spread of knowledge and extracting cash from Americans) on the location of Sodom and its satellites, as well as their destruction (and Lot's Wife).

		It is a journey that he is unlikely to have made with a cohort of nearly 500 men with perhaps an equal number of women captured with the caravan of great riches.

	Eco - Papers: "Maps, Mazes and Monsters" by Adele Haft
		Inspired by the practical maps of the Romans, this group of medieval maps nevertheless conforms to the biblical conceptions of an earth shaped like a circle or rectangle (5).
		Associated with the names of Sallust and Lucan (20), a map of the T-0 type also appears to have been the model for the geographical descriptions of the important Christian authorities, St. Augustine and Orosius, at the beginning of the fifth century (21).
		Though this coincidence could be explained simply by the geographical proximity of these three countries, it was precisely that proximity that had allowed the Arabs to sweep out of their original home in Arabia to conquer Egypt and North Africa by the seventh century, then Spain early in the eighth.
