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.
