To understand the conditions under which Paul travelled, it is necessary to compare the Book of Acts and Paul’s Epistles with our knowledge of the Ancient World (its institutions, culture, means of transport…); this data clarify the text unexpectedly. It is necessary to take into account the contribution of archaeology, and particularly naval archaeology, which provides us with a knowledge of embarkation procedures, routes and ports, as well as maritime activity in the Mediterranean Basin,in the 1st century of the Christian Era. It is ultimately useful to compare Paul’s Epistles and The Books of Acts with other written sources, be they Greek or Latin narratives or other texts from ancient literature, especially geographical works, which testify to itineraries and travel conditions in general.
