Roads already existed before the Romans and the Romans had roads before the later and famous Roman roads. What came to make the Roman roads different was that at one point they were paved. The first paved road was the Appian way, buit in 312 BC. It was built to speed up the movement of Roman troops to the front of the Second Samnite War. Paved roads had a military purpose.
