If you are in Ancient Rome, you will definitely see the Roman roads. They are one of Rome ’s greatest legacies. Every single Roman road ended up leading to Rome. They went very far. Up until 100 years ago, people still used them. It would be nice to know how the roads were made and constructed. They were put across an embankment for a foundation. For the small roads, they two rows of curbstones to define the road, instead of an embankment. It’s amazing, how long the roads can be. They can be from 8-40 feet wide. They used materials, such as limestone, gravel and large stones. In some instances, they used sand and lava. Their roads are very similar to our roads today. They just aren't as neat as ours. This is an example of the Ancient Roman Roads.
