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.
