Yes.. Emmaus Nicopolis appears on Roman geographical maps. The Peutinger Table situates it about 31 kilometres (19 mi) west of Jerusalem, while the Ptolemy map shows it at a distance of 32 kilometres (20 mi) from the city. This location is confirmed by ancient sources and translations of the Gospel of Luke (e.
G. Codex Sinaiticus), which give the distance between biblical Emmaus and Jerusalem as 160 stadia. The geographical position of Emmaus is described in the Jerusalem Talmud, Tractate Sheviit 9.
TODAY'' Halfway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv lies Latrun and the remains of the Emmaus (Nicopolis) Church, first built in the 5th century, over the site believed to be the place where Jesus appeared to two of his disciples after his resurrection (Mark 16:12-13; Luke 24:13-31). It was rebuilt on a smaller scale by the Crusaders in the 12th century. Christians have lived here from a very early date.
The bible scholar Jerome in 386 wrote that the town of Emmaus was "where the Lord made himself known to Cleophas in the breaking of the bread, thus consecrating his house as a church". Jerome also noted that the Romans changed the name of the town from Emmaus to Nicopolis. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EqEpxjY... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyQ4jFRT...
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
