«Route 66 AD» is Tony Perrottet's travel book, published by Ebury Press in paperback (432 pages, in English).
Tony Perrottet retraces the route of the first tourists —the ancient Romans— traveling with his pregnant girlfriend from Rome to Egypt using a period guidebook. Between a brothel in Pompeii, dubious replicas in Troy and Egypt's «pyramidiotas», he discovers that Mediterranean tourism has barely changed in two thousand years.
Originally published in the United States as «Pagan Holiday» in 2002, the 2003 Ebury Press edition adds the subtitle «On the Trail of Ancient Roman Tourists».
For those who enjoy Roman history and travel writing with humor and irreverence.
