From what I understand it, affluent Romans typically moved back and forth between countryside villas in the summer, and a smaller residence in the city during the winter.

Also Roman economics were not really very local. The Romans had a large road network and were very mobile and traded even farther. You have for example Pelagius, a figure in church history, who was born in Britain and died in Egypt.
