ROMAN ROADS!!!!!! Home page colosseum aqueducts weapons of a soldier Life as a slave

If wanted to go to rome from, say greece, or anywhere else, you would travel on these roads.

The roman roads were first used for transportation for the army. By the 2nd century they had made about 372 roads that covered about 53,000 miles. the romans learned how to build their roads from the Etruscans. The roads were usually laid upon a carefully constructed embamkment called an agger. T he depth of the road was about 5 feet into the ground. The romans began building roads about 148 b.c. The appian way was the first of many of the great roman roads. The roman roads were built as straight as possible(which could be pretty hard.) There roads were strong enough to half a ton(1000 pounds or lbs.)

so first things first if you were stuck and out of gas in the middle of one of these roads you would need a handy map.


 * You should go on one of these roads to a town and ask for some gas.
 * Then you get a ride back to your vehicle.
 * You put the gas in or a tire or a tire or something and you are saved!
 * So next time you will always bring a map with you.
