A detailed study of the nature and significance of roads in the Mycenaean worls and of the communities that constructed them. Jansen explores the nature of the terrain, the construction methods used, the places that were connected by the roads and their point of origin, both on a regional level focusing on, for example, Boeotia, the Argolid and Crete, and in terms of the district of Mycenae itself. Based on archaeology, history, geography and engineering, Jansen reveals a pattern of intra-regional rather than inter-regional networks of roads.
