Roman Roads __ Home __ Aqueducts Roads Entertainment Armys Leaders Slaves The roman roads were made of concrete and then the small holes were covered up by small stones. There were ditches on the side of the road that would collect water and it would lead to a sewer system that drained the water. It would take many days and hundreds of workers just to build one road. All of the tools used to build a road were iron which Rome had a surplus of. The roads were used for transportation for trading and for messages. The roads also made it much easier for horses to stay on route. Some of the roads were so long that some people couldn’t even walk the whole entire thing!
