∙ 15y agoRoads, like paths, make traveling easier because the ground is smoother than rough, improved ground. They made paved roads because pavement needs less maintenance than dirt paths and is much easier for wagons to travel on, especially when the ground is wet. They spent a lot of labor to build the road then it lasts a long time and is better for traveling than a dirt path.
For trading goods, and because they wore no shoes, they had to build a nice flat surface to keep from cutting up their feet.

∙ 8y agoThe Romans built a network of 400,000 kilometres (250,000 miles) of roads around their empire. There were three types of Roads: the via munita which was a stone-paved road, the via glareata, which was a road with a gravel surface and the via terrena, a levelled earth road. The stone-paved roads made up 20% of the networks of roads.
For the stone-paved roads the Romans dug the road bed down to the firmest level of ground or to the bedrock. Large amounts of materials found locally were used (crushed rocks or sand) to fill the ditch up to one metre to the surface. This was then covered with gravel which was compressed to create a flat surface. The next layer was coarse concrete. Finally the stone slabs were embedded in fine concrete.
