Salvete!
I come with a question here.
We know that the Romans were fervent party people. Especially in imperial times there were lots of holidays and religious feasts.
However, I wonder if they also had the practise of going away from wherever they lived to another place for a certain amount of time, just to go to this place as only or main purpose (in other words, tourism). Did it exist? Surely one could imagine in an empire so large that the wealthier citizens wanted to see another piece of the world. Study travels were popular with students and scholars, but they were not entirely touristic.
Did this practise exist in Rome or in Roman times?
Valete,
