Através del relato histórico y un periodismo lírico que suele poner el acento en la gente, esta crónica mixtape, con visos de humor y melancolía, va y viene por los hechos de la Conquista de Tenochtitlan y cuestiona en cada capítulo, implícita o explícitamente, las fronteras entre comunidades, ciudades y nacionalidades; entre pasado y presente.

Christopher Hadley takes us on a lyrical journey into this past, retracing and searching for an elusive Roman road that sprang from one of the busiest road hubs in Roman Britain. His passage is not always easy. Time and nature have erased many clues; bridges rotted and whole woods grew across the route. Carters found an easier ford downstream, and people broke up its milestones to mend new paths. Year after year the heavy clay swallowed whole lengths of it; the once mighty road became a bridleway, an overgrown hollow-way, a parched mark in the soil.

The Victorian Era. The Age of Enlightenment. The post-9/11 years. We are accustomed to demarcating history, fencing off one period from the next. But societies have not always operated in this way.
