If we decided to move during the winter to Malaca the price skyrocketed to 1473 denarii (11257 pounds) and per extra kilogram to 24 denarii (183 pounds). The route to take was different, the Atlantic Ocean was avoided because of the storms and a large part of the journey was made by horse or carriage and sailing along rivers.<\/p>\n<p>On this map we can see which places we would pass through if we would have lived in Roman times:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/blog\/costa-del-sol\/holidays-in-malaca\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-751\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-751\" title=\"Londinium to Malaca\" src=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/londinium-to-malaca-443x400.jpg\" alt=\"Londinium to Malaca\" width=\"443\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/londinium-to-malaca-443x400.jpg 443w, https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/londinium-to-malaca-300x270.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/londinium-to-malaca-332x300.jpg 332w, https:\/\/www.malagaweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/londinium-to-malaca.jpg 926w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>According to the source I consulted, this was part of a popular route.<\/p>\n<h3>* Denarii in pounds and economy of ancient Rome<\/h3>\n<p>For the conversion from denarii to pounds or euro I have relied mainly on the daily food consumption of a middle-class family; also on the price of some food or basic goods, although it is different from what we have today.
