No, the ancient Romans did not build the first road system, but they built the best. There were many good roads in the area that today we call the Middle East, but the ancient Persian empire is generally credited with having the first road system. In fact the practical Romans borrowed an aspect from the Persian system which was the placing of milestones and having rest stations at certain points.

No, the Romans did not build the first roads, but they built the best roads. The Persians and peoples of the middle east had good roads long before the Romans.
