Roman rulers used the cursus publicus to send messages. This was a state-supervised courier and transportation service. It transported messages, public officials, and tax revenues. It was an infrastructure of thousands of stations (stationes) along the main roads of the empire which supplied horses, transport animals (mules and donkeys) oxen for pulling carts, carts, fodder and food and accommodation. To use the services of the cursus publicus you needed a licence (diploma) issued by the emperor. The staging stations were the mutationes which were privately-run stations which serviced vehicles and animals and had wheelwrights, cartwrights, and veterinarian, and the mutationes (singular mansio), government-run overnight accommodation for state messengers and officals under the superintendence of an officer called mansionarius.
State messengers were usually soldiers who acted as dispatch riders. Private individuals hired their own messengers. Private messengers stayed the night in private establishments called tebernae (singular taberna). For greater speed, horses were changed frequently.
It has been estimated that these staging post were on average 12.4 km (7.7 mi) apart. It has also been estimated that messengers covered about 80 km (50 miles) per day.

When the Romans built aqueducts on top of each other why did they have the arches on the extra aqueducts?
The Romans did not build aqueducts on top of each other. When the aqueducts had to cross valleys the water conduit was put on top of bridgeworks. When the bridgework needed to be high, the Romans achieved this height by building two or three rows or arches on top of each other. This was done to reach the height and maintain the structural solidity the arched offered. There was only one water conduit at the top. The Romans also tried to keep the gradient of aqueducts slight to avoid the water gathering too much speed.
