Best Answer

The most common way to travel was on foot for short distances.

Those who had a donkey, a mule or a horse would ride their animal to their destination.

Those who had their way could use a carriage which was drawn by horses and those who were looking for safety would use a merchant ship of the time.

It is understood that individual travel was not easy at the time and you could not meet a "tourist" wondering around.

For most Romans it was walking with as much as they could carry, or riding for the equites who could afford a horse. Same for the Roman Army; walking for the infantry (and officers), and riding for the cavalry. For heavy cargo, wagons were pulled by oxen, as was the artillery of the Roman Army. For travel over water there were ships propelled by sail and oar. Roman warships were rowed by free sailors, and merchant ships were rowed by slaves. As Rome moved from a republic to an empire, wealthy Romans could travel in a litter carried by slaves.
