Ancient Rome had the first system of paved roads. However they were not the first paved roads, they were the first system of paved roads. System is the key word here. The ancient Egyptians had what is believed to be the first paved road in the Old Kingdom which was during the age of the pyramids from 2600 to 2200 BC. It was unearthed going from a quarry to the pyramid building site and it is thought to have been used to move the stone blocks easier. Another oldie was found on Crete, dated to about 2000 BC. Both of these ancient roads were not part of a network, they were simply paved roads used for a specific purpose for a specific distance.
The Romans perfected the paved road. Many of them are still in use almost 2000 years after their construction.
The first paved road began in 1823 in Maryland, connecting Boonsboro and Hagerstown.

The 2nd oldest is in Ur, in Iraq, at least 4,000 years old.
