Why were the roads so important to the culture of ancient Romans?

The ancient Romans kept expanding their empire, at least well up into England, if not Scotland. To defeat the people already living in land that they wanted, their large armies could defeat nearly any opposing army.
For the Roman armies of marching men, horse-riding leaders and especially chariot soldiers, roads were a necessity not only for the armies to get to, or at least close to the fighting, but also to enable movement of the large amount of non-soldier traffic needed to supply the soldiers.
The roads also enabled message runners to run faster to deliver their messages.
