months? how long would it take to journey from the Italian alps to its southern most point? Turin to the south most point of the peninsula is about 240h walk, at a reasonable pace that should take about 2 weeks, a month at most.
although if we're talking about the whole empire, then corner to corner would take months
Yeah, but corner to corner, you'd probably be taking a boat anyway for 80%.
Even one end of Italy to the other, seems like walking to the coast, then boating the length, then walking coast to destination would be the play.
