Exact excerpt

Byzantium is highly centrally located in the continental road network as a whole, since it connects the European and Asian components of the Roman road network ... The connectivity of many of these regions should instead be understood as mediating contacts within the province, across the frontier, via rivers, or maritime. Such terrestrial mobility results are hard to divorce from the reliance on river- and seaborne transport.
