The network of Roads in the Roman Empire reached 400,000 kilometres, 250,000 miles). About 20% (80,500 kilometres, 50,313 miles) of this network were the famous stone-paved roads (via munita). They had a military purpose. The speeded up and made easier the movement of troops and of supplies to soldiers at the front or in garrisons. Since Rome was at war so often, they were very important. They also made communications and the transport of goods for trade easier. They were paved with regular blocks of the stone of the local area or with polygonal blocks of lava. Other types of roads were the via terrena, a plain road of levelled earth, and the via glareata, a levelled earth road with a gravel surface. The main road (viae consulares and viae preatoriae; viae is the plural of via, road) and secondary roads were either of the via mutina or via glareata type. County roads (viae rusticae or viae agrariae) were mostly viae terrenae and were often private roads (viae privatae) which were built by private individuals who owned or had interest in the local land and who decided whether to dedicate them to the public. There were also viae vicinales, which were roads in villages, districts or roads leading to villages from crossroads. They run from main roads or other viae vicinales. They could be either public or private.

Roman roads were/are famous for being straight. Even today on traces of old Roman roads, we can still make out their directness. These roads were also paved, with their surfaces consisting of large stones. An example of this ancient paving can still be seen on the Appian way outside of Rome.
The Roman Republic covered approximately 500 years & the Imperator phase of Rome ( Rome ruled by emperors ) lasted another 500 years. During this vast length of time over 10,000 miles of stone paved roads were built. The funding and building of the military roads and main public roads (viae militares, publicae, consulares and preatoriae) was the responsibility of the Roman state, but the provinces were responsible for their maintenance. Originally the official responsible for road construction was the censor. Roads were often named after the censor who commissioned their construction. They were also renamed after the censor if he commissioned major works on them, such as paving or repaving or rerouting. Later, as the network expanded, this responsibility was transferred to ad hoc bodies in Italy. It the provinces the proconsuls, the propraetors and their legates took on this responsibility. Municipalities were responsible for the building and maintenance of their own roads (viae vicinales). Private individuals were allowed to build and maintain their own roads (viae privatae, rusticae and agrariae). These were usually secondary rural rads built by landlords who had an interest in the local rural area.
