Travelling west across the breadbasket of the Empire, he journeys through Gaul (France) before crossing to Britannia, where he suffers the worst that provincial life has to offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Falx provides practical advice on surviving all things travel: from pirates and shipwrecks to bedbugs and lousy food.
