But there was no unified search and three or four conflicting theories have arisen regarding its location.

But where did that border go? And mostly, what really happened there?

Today, and for centuries, many have continued to ask themselves this question. Occasionally various societies and academies have gathered together in argumentative meetings to decide, now in favor of one place, now in favor of another.

But to questions such as:

For who and why was that border built the first time?

Why and how was it built?

Why did the Romans call it Puniceus Rubicon?

Why were there red sands that no longer exist today?

Was there a place called 'Malanotte' (Dreadful night) on the banks of that border?

Did Caesar and many Roman legionaries have nightmares or a Malanotte before crossing that border?

It seems that no one has tried to answer these and many other questions.

And that is shame, because it would have led to discovering a few answers and much more about what the Rubicon was, and what it was for, which would have led to discovering why and who had built that border, plus many other novelties that you will discover for yourself while reading.
