There must be at some point in time that you will pass or see the Roman Road. You will need this road to get to Rome or get out. These roads are pretty weird. Since they had conquered so many empire’s they had many miles of roads leading to each one. There is one really important thing that is really dangerous. It is that many robbers and bandits hide. All these roads were built by sand, Stones, and stone blocks. What’s so special about the road is that the roads never get muddy or soggy because of how it is built. It was built in a way that it is curvy. This made the mud travel. What was very interesting about the roads to was that on the side of the roads they had signs showing how far you were from Rome. Modern Day Connection In our day, we have more advanced roads, but very alike to the roman roads. Our roads are sometimes curvy and smooth. I would really say that the Romans were really advanced for there time period. There roads were made of sand and stone, this created to make mud. Although they solved that problem, we don’t use sand, We use Cement.
