For more then two thousand years the military, commercial and cultural life of the Balkans and neighbouring countries revolved around the ancient Roman Egnatian Way, or the rout it followed when the Romans built it as an overseas extension of the Appian Way to carry them to Asia. Stretching from Durazzo in the Adriatic coast of what is now Albania to Istanbul, the Way has seen great shifts of population, invasions and conquests that have been repeated over the centuries and into modern times. The author describes the martial and political episodes of this historic road and provides a valuable guide to the art and culture of the countries and their historical treasures which lie along the route.
