Roman Roads When you’re in Rome remember to use the roads! The roads link all the major cities together and make it MUCH easier to travel. They’re just like ancient highways! If your ever wondering how far you’ve traveled remember, that there are milestones! There are 372 roads that are built through an amazing 53,000 miles of terrain! The roads were all built by slaves. The roads are built for the army but don’t worry, you can still use them! If you want to go through rough terrain like mountains and swamps forget the roads. Even though Roman architects are capable of building roads in these areas, they usually don’t. Roads are one of Rome ’s wonders and are renowned for there good positioning. The wideness of the roads vary and can be anywhere from 8-40 feet wide! Just remember you can’t use any vehicles in the city during the day so save them for night! These roads are like today's roads because, like today, they are methodically spread out everywhere to help travel.
