In Conquest of Gaul, he stated that he and the legions had to travel 70 miles, and that they got there the day after next, which means they traveled 35 miles a day, unless they still traveled a little that day or since they didnâ€™t have a any mile markers he was guessing and guessed wrong or he was over exaggerating for posterity.

How far is a Roman mile?
