Note 2 at Rom. 15:23: In Acts 19:21, Paul purposed in his spirit to visit Rome after he had gone back through Macedonia (see note 1 at Acts 16:9, p. 667) and Achaia (see note 11 at Acts 18:12, p. 682). This happened while he was in Ephesus from A.D. 54 to 57 (see note 2 at Acts 18:23, p. 684).
Paul was writing this epistle around A.D. 57-58 from Corinth (see "Date and Place of Writing" in Introduction to Romans, p._738). Therefore, Paul's "many years" is referring to a 2 to 3 year period of time.
