all roads lead to Rome there are many different ways of reaching the same goal or conclusion.

☞ This is an ancient saying which was based on the fact that Rome was the point of convergence of all the main roads of the Roman empire, and after that of the medieval pilgrimage routes through Europe. It can be compared with the medieval Latin phrase mille vie ducunt hominem per secula Romam, meaning 'a thousand roads lead a man forever towards Rome'.
