__Ancient Rome Roads__ Rome roads can get very confusing. The Romans have built over 53,000 miles of roads in the empire. They have so many because each time a new area was conquered, there was a road built from Rome to the new area. Rome conquered many, many areas so obviously there are a lot of roads. Now if you’re looking to survive in Rome, you really got to look along the sides because there is danger of being ambushed by highway robbers. These many roads were built with sand, concrete, stones, stone blocks. Also if you’re walking along one of these roads, you’ll probably notice that the roads are curved down from the middle. This is so the roads won’t get muddy and soggy. A helpful tip that could help you survive is look along the sides of the roads and there will be milestones that tell you how many miles you are away from Rome ! So you’ll never be able to get lost in this huge empire. Also there were never curves in the roads, all roads went straight. The legacie of these roads are the many roads in the whole world today ,and the many diffrent ways of transportation in todays world.
