The Romans actually built 250,000 miles of Roads around their empire. They built three types of Roads: the via terrena (a plain road of leveled earth), the via glareata (an earthed road with a graveled surface) and the via munita (a stone-paved road, with rectangular blocks of the stone or with polygonal blocks of lava).
The network of stone-paved roads was 50,000 miles. The purpose of this type of road was military. It speeded up to movement of troops to the front and made the transport of supplies to the soldiers at the front or stationed in garrisons easier. Because of their military nature, these roads were built as straight as possible, even in hilly areas. When traders complained that the roads were too steep for their laden carts, they were sometimes modified to make them less steep.

What tribe built a thousand miles of road to capital city?
It is most extremely unlikely that a tribe (which by definition is not a big social group) would build thousands of miles of roads. It takes an empire to build thousands of miles of roads. This empire was the vast Roman Empire, which was the second largest empire antiquity saw and was and the 17th largest in history. The Romans built 400,000 kilometres (250,000 miles) or roads throughout the Roman Empire. Of these, 20% (80,500 kilometres, 50,313 miles) were the famous stone-paved roads. Of course, most of these roads did not go to Rome, the capital of the empire. Not surprisingly, the roads which went directly to Rome were in Italy. There were nineteen of them. Many of these had only a regional reach.
Is it true that Romans built the first roads?
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.
