What made roman transport easy?

Answer 1

The Roman invention of the stone-paved roads made transport easier. These roads were conceived for military purposes. The first stone-paved way was the Appian way which was built in 312 BC to speed up the movement of Roman troops to the front of the Second Samnite War. These roads made both the movement of troops and of military supplies to soldiers at the front or in garrisons quicker and easier. They had the same effect on transport in general, including the movement of goods for trade.
