OpenCage did an interview with one of the creators Raphael Reimann:

btw: 2019 moovel kind of merged together with FreeNow (formerly mytaxi) which was recently aquired by Lyft...

There's also this website which shows ancient Roman roads: https://itiner-e.org/. Note that some roads are speculative / hypothetical though. But regardless it's also a cool road map related to Rome.

Yes, even ferries in Scandinavia can be roads when it makes for a better map… Or not ferries in the Mediterranean when it doesn’t.

Honestly I think this part

should just be taken as pseudo-profound art fluff. Are you telling me all Greek commercial transport goes straight through non-Schengen instead of just ferrying across?
