The central emphasis of Paul’s missionary preaching was the proclamation of Jesus as the Messiah of the Jewish people and the Kyrios of the world.
Paul was the same. He went to people wherever they would listen—in the Jewish synagogues, in the market places, even in the shrines of traditional Greek deities
he took advantage of the major highways the Romans had built across their empire. Combined with regular sea routes, they gave ready access to all the major centres of population, and these were the places Paul visited.
But it seems somewhat more likely that he hoped to have Rome as his base for his work in the western regions. Until now Antioch had functioned as his base, but this was too far from places like Spain.
