Resumo

Traveling is a constant activity in everyday social life. It frequently involves logistics, displacement, food etc. When considering Antiquity, images of travels and travelers in the works of authors such as Seneca and Aelius Aristides can be observed and, in a dialogue with material culture, there are testimonies on the inscriptions of passages, bridges, journeys, pavements, among other elements. This study aims at analyzing two aspects of traveling in the Roman society: first, producing reflections on the roads because they were converted into communication sources and the basis for imperial power. For this purpose, the case study turns to Via Appia which connected Rome to Capua. From this point, the second aspect contemplated follows through philosophical voyages presented in the Letter LXX by Seneca.
