They became traders because they needed more supplies and foods for the growing population because richer Romans were buying smaller farms to make them into latifundias to become even more richer so the farmers didn't have enough food to feed the growing population. They became road builders to make transportation easier for the military to get around. It also made it easier to travel for merchants. If you think I am wrong, fine but I am learning about this exact thing in History so it is fresher in my mind and I have an A+
The Romans.
CORRECTION builders* ancient*
The Romans traded all over the Roman Empire and beyond. Roman traders travelled into Germany and Poland along the amber road. They traded with Ethiopia and Arabia and Persia. There was trade with India and China, but that was though intermediaries, Ethiopians in the former case and Persians in the latter case.
Ancient Romans were the first people to built the actual road system.
it was not really a road in ancient times. it was a path that Chinese traders took their silk to trade with other countries
Traders reached foreign countries by the standard methods of travel in the times. They would either be by road or by ship. If the distance were too great, especially for imported goods, they would meet at a certain "half-way" point. The ancient city of Petra was one of these trading cities. It was one of the endings of the Silk Road and traders would meet there to deal with the Asian traders.

Rome. The ancient Romans paved roads every place they went.
In ancient China the Chinese commissioned the construction of imperial outposts on the silk road, these outposts provided protection, supplies and shelter from the adverse weather of the Gobi Desert.
Traders in the far east used the Silk Road to transport their goods.The Silk Road bought Chinese goods and then sold them to traders on the way to Rome.
To learn how to make a Roman road, one can study historical texts and archaeological findings to understand the construction techniques used by the ancient Romans. Additionally, hands-on experience and guidance from experts in ancient engineering can provide practical knowledge on building a Roman road.
No, the ancient Romans did not build the first road system, but they built the best. There were many good roads in the area that today we call the Middle East, but the ancient Persian empire is generally credited with having the first road system. In fact the practical Romans borrowed an aspect from the Persian system which was the placing of milestones and having rest stations at certain points.
