 How to: Survive the Roman Roads!!! Aqueducts Home CircusMaximas Trajan Lif of a Soldier Life of an Artisan

First of all, it is not that hard to survive the Roman roads because they were almost the same as current day roads: simple and easy to understand. All you would really have to do is walk in a straight line because of the incredibly simple design. If you get stuck making roads then this should help you out. First, you would have to dig a shallow and ten foot wide path so there is room for the stone. Make sure it is a straight line because if it is not, then you could be in big trouble because roads were supposed to be straight unless absolutely neccesary. After, that you would fill the path in with the most smooth-as-possible stones ever. Now you have your rode, but smooth it out because if an army steps onto a jagged stone, then your going to be the one in trouble. If your not going to make the roads then you should at least know the most important facts. These roads were over 53,000 miles long in total, so if you see one out of place stone, do not start a riot. These roads were made straight so the army could easily traverse them. These roads were also made for mail to be easily carried to the location that it needs to be sent to. There were fifteen main roads, so do not think that you can just go to China if you felt like it. The main countries that could be gone to were Gaul, Hispania, Italia, and Britannia. If you feel like going to one of those areas then your in luck because you will get there really easily as long as you do not spin around on the road with your eyes closed. Lets just hope that the toll booth is not invented while you are there.
