The Romans built around 250,000 miles of roads in total.
The Romans network of roads throughout their empire totalled the 400,000 kilometres (250,000 miles). The famous stone-paved roads constituted 20% (80,500km, 50,313 miles) of the network. Besides the via munita (stone-paved road) there was the via glareata which was an earthed road with a gravelled surface and the via terrena which was a rural road of levelled earth.

They actually weren't stones, but cobblestones. Cobblestones are shaped stone in squares and put together in a set pattern and measured . The road was leveled and the stones set in sand.

The Romans were the first to build stone-paved roads. The first such road was the Appian way, which was commissioned by Appius Claudius Caecusin 312 BC to speed up the movement of troops and military supplies to the front of the Second Samnite War (326-304 BC). The stone-paved roads had a military purpose. They made the movement of soldiers and the delivery of supplies to troops at the front or stationed in garrisons much easier and faster. Their military nature was also shown in by the fact that they were usually built on a straight line, even when they crossed hilly areas. Traders also used these roads to transport their goods. They complained that the straight tracts over steep gradients made it very difficult for their laden wagons. After these complaints at least some of these tracts were redesigned to allow for less steep gradients. The paved roads covered 20% (80,500 kilometres, 50,313 miles) of the total network of roads (400,000 kilometres, 250,000 miles) in the Roman Empire.
The Romans built stone-paved roads which were covered with local rocks cut into squares or polygonal slabs of lava. These roads had a military purpose. They made the movement of soldiers and the delivery of supplies to troops at the front or stationed in garrisons much easier and faster.

The total length of public roads in the US is approximately 4.1 million miles. The circumference of the Earth is about 24,901 miles. Dividing the total length of US public roads by the Earth's circumference gives us approximately 164.6. Therefore, US public roads would wrap around the Earth around 165 times.
