 * Home
 * In Ancient Rome there where about 372 roads that totaled about 53,000 miles. The Roman republic constructed these roads for the rapid movement of troops and also for transporting goods to other cities and to ships for trade. This was an important part of expanding the Roman Empire. The roads were made of stones with crushed stone in between the cracks. The Twelve Tables had specific sizes that the roads had to be. Carts that were pulled by ox were the vehicles that traveled on these roads. **



**Modern Day Road Connections ** **Roads are a still a big part of life. Today cars travel on the roads instead of carts. Instead of the roads being made of stone like they used to, the roads today are made of concrete or asphalt. The roads start from all different places now instead of starting from one place. Now roads are used all over the world. **
