Best Answer

In an era before electronic communications, news and orders had to be transmitted by boat or foot or mounted messenger. With the Empire spread over several thousand miles from Egypt/Libya to today's Pakistan, it was important to pass messages as quickly as possible so a system of horse posting stations, riverine and seagoing boats speeded up communications, reducing the time of transmission from weeks to days.
