The Romans built the famous stone-paved roads (the via munita), which had military purposes. They speeded up the movement of troops to the front and made the transport of supplies to the soldiers at the front or stationed in garrisons quicker and easier. However, the stone-paved roads constituted only 20% of the network of roads around the Roman Empire. The Romans also built gravelled roads (the via glareata) and earthwork roads (the via terrena).
