The Royal Road was built by Darius to unite the sparse kingdoms he had conquered. The road was about 20ft. wide and stretched around 15,000 miles connecting North Africa and India and everything in between. There was an inn every few miles in which travelers could exchange their tired horses for fresh rested ones. There were also guards along the road making it the safest way to get across Persia.
