The phrase "all roads lead to Rome" has a medieval origin. It first appeared as Mille viae ducunt homines per saecula Romam (A thousand roads lead men forever to Rome) in a book by Alain de Lille in 1175. Chaucer wrote: "Right as diverse pathes leden the folk the righte wey to Rome. It originally made reference to Roman roads generally and the Golden Milestone, specifically. This was a monument in the forum of Rome from which all roads were considered to start and from which the distances in the Roman Empire were measured. The meaning of the phrase is: different paths can take one to the same goal.
