Abstract

This article examines the role of Roman transportation infrastructure in the spread of early Christianity, with particular focus on the Seven Churches of Revelation in Asia Minor. Through historical, geographical, archaeological, and theological analysis, the study investigates how Roman roads facilitated communication, trade, missionary activity, and the growth of Christian communities. The article also explores the missionary strategy of the Apostle Paul and considers modern parallels between ancient transportation networks and contemporary digital communication systems.
