The Golden Milestone
The Golden Milestone - history / landmarks -
The "Milliarium Aureum" (Latin for "Golden Milestone") was a marble and bronze column located in the center of the ancient City of Rome. It was point zero of the Roman road network, and milestones throughout the empire were measured specifically from the Milliarium Aureum.
This monument was said to be the inspiration of for the saying, "All roads lead to Rome"; however, the 12th century phrase may have been intended instead as a generic aphorism.
