Movers and the Romans

Strangely enough we tend to consider the profession of movers as a modern profession. However one of the greatest movers was the Roman Republic and Roman Empire. We have to understand the basic activities of movers to understand what the relevance is to the Romance. Well if movers transport goods of all kinds and even relocate homes then the best example is that of the Romans. After all when the Romans battled and conquered foreign peoples, one of the main aims was to ship back home as much plunder as possible. A case in point is when Vespasian fought in the Holy Land against the Jewish uprising. He was later followed by his son Titus. Titus not only conquered Judea and Jerusalem but also plundered the treasures of the Temple. The incredible amount of gold, silver and other hoards of wealth were all shipped back to Rome by his army of movers. The Romans were probably one of the most advanced and sophisticated types of movers for many hundreds of years. After all they designed and
built famous roads to help their movers provide the armies with their wares as well as send back their plundered wealth to the Eternal City of Rome, the heart of the Roman Empire.
