Roman roads were one of the first complex road systems. If you went back in time you would at one point travel on a road. The roads were made out of stone so they would be bumpy. The roads were not very wide at about only 12 feet. Roads from all around came to Rome. So the saying “all roads lead to Rome ”. Most roads went through flat land and only some curves. There were 53,000 miles of road that the Romans made. They hade stone markers to tell you how far something away was. The side of the roads had gutters to dispose of waste of the road. The ground made horses jobs easier, and if you go back in time it will make a job easier for you too. Our roads today are alot like the ancient roads but now ours are paved.
