Even before Roman soldiers started building and then marching on the roads of the empire, expanding the imperial trade across all the outposts, there were well-worn trading paths that led to Rome. Etruscans, who preceded the Romans on the Italian peninsula, had been trading extensively with northern lands.

Exactly what I was thinking Sandra! I want to apply to be the assistant to Ms Nina Heyn. I will carry her bags, get her coffee, help her pack, schedule her schedule, shop with her, have a lunch with her now and again, if she needs the company! ; ) Since I have two boys and a husband, I can’t actually apply for the position, but it was fun thinking about it! Unless she wants a family of assistants to follow her around… lol Thank you Nina for all your articles, they keep the smile on my face and in my heart. xo
