ABSTRACT
The law of Julius Caesar, forbidding any wheeled traffic to move in the streets of Rome between dawn and dusk, had been extended by Marcus Aurelius to apply to all parts of the Empire. Bad public relations in Rome have blurred the image of Divine Majesty, and the British, always restive under the Roman yoke, have elected the first of their ‘do-it-yourself’ Emperors, Albinus Augustus, who is ‘acknowledged’ by the co-Emperor, L. Septimius Severus. And if London enjoys the material comforts of Rome in a lesser degree, this is a difference of quality and not of quantity. Not even after two centuries of Roman rule does the average Londoner doubt that all roads lead to Rome. The law of Julius Caesar, forbidding any wheeled traffic to move in the streets of Rome between dawn and dusk, had been extended by Marcus Aurelius to apply to all parts of the Empire.
