This map illustrates the journeys of Paul the Apostle (aka Saul of Tarsus, or Saint Paul, generally regarded as one of the most important figures of the Apostolic Age) in the middle of the 1st century CE. The map depicts the spread of early Christianity and the extensive cultural interactions within the Roman Empire.
These travels, documented in the New Testament's Acts of the Apostles and Paul's Epistles, underscore the interconnectedness of the diverse regions of the Roman Empire and the movement of ideas and cultures along trade routes and through major urban centers. Contemporary sources, such as Roman historical records and archaeological findings, corroborate details of Paul's journeys, offering a broader context for understanding the movement of ideas and cultural exchanges during this period. Despite facing significant opposition and persecution, Paul's journeys facilitated the exchange of cultural and philosophical ideas, demonstrating how early Christian communities navigated and integrated into the wider Roman world.
