[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 2728072, member: 83845"]You may be referring to the travels of Libanius of Antioch who wrote over 1500 letters with many of them detailing his travels though he may not have made it that far west. There is a book on travel in late antiquity that might interest you if you can find it second hand or cheap somewhere. It's a bit pricey on Amazon. [SIZE=4]Travel, Communication and Geography in Late Antiquity: Sacred and Profane[/SIZE] [CENTER][ATTACH=full]619615[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] Also I don't think this is what your looking for but here is an interesting link about the travel itinerary of an anonymous pilgrim in the year 333 AD [url]http://www.christusrex.org/www1/ofm/pilgr/bord/10Bord01MapEur.html[/url] Another possibility might be Prudentius who was a Spanish Christian Poet in the late fifth century who travelled extensively and left some accounts of his travels between west and east.[/QUOTE]
