Best Answer

The Romans built about 10,000 miles of roads throughout the empire. Roman roads were made with sand, gravel, rocks and concrete and beveled to help water drain to the outer sections of the road. Whenever possible the roadways were made straight and ran through natural obstacles as best as their engineers could manage. The Roman engineers also used clay, mortar and volcanic lava rocks. The surface of the roads were usually rectangular stone slabs.
