Hi, newbie here 
Just thought I'd share about this neat site I found while researching an idea. Stanford's put together an awesome resource for figuring out travel in the Roman empire: http://orbis.stanford.edu/orbis2012/#
It has several variables you can play around with (like mode of transportation, cost, time of year, speed), to figure out all the details you'd want to know about getting from any one of the 700+ sites to another. (Wouldn't it be nice if there were tools like this for some other time periods? Or maybe you guys already know?)
