Our latest article about Roman roads is published and in Open Access! 🎉 Are Roman roads really straight? Does all roads lead to Rome? We performed first exploratory quantitative analysis of the most comprehensive dataset of Roman roads (Itiner-e)! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Publication alert! A geo-spatial dataset of the Medieval road system (ca. 650-1517 CE) for the Levant/Bilād al-Šām is published in this data paper! One of the main outputs of my #MSCA project @up_joad

Ever wondered how far Roman roads stretched? A new high-resolution digital map called Itiner-e has just revealed the most detailed picture yet of the Empire’s vast network. And it’s bigger than we thought!
🥳Roman roads are online! It is my pleasure to announce both official launch of itiner-e.org The Digital Atlas of Ancient Roads, and release of the data paper! Let's dig into 300,000 km of Roman roads and join us in this amazing endeavour! doi.org/10.1038/s41597-025-0…

It was great honour and pleasure to present some first results from my project 'VIA-TARIQ' about using Roman road data for modelling movement in the landscape last week at @CAA_Int 2025 conference in Athens. Big thanks to all involved and to Angel Grigorov for pictures!
Just launched my project website at pazadam.github.io ! Not much there yet (but you can read more about my current project). I hope to grow it as my personal research blog with news, calls, articles, resources and other useful stuff.
