What was roman empire transportation like?
Roman transportation was good for its time. Their roads made moving goods and travel for people efficient. However, it was slow and bumpy compared with today. They could only go at the speed of their horses and if traveling in a carriage or wagon, the ride was bumpy as there were no springs to cushion the carriage from the road. Travel by ship was smoother (if one was not prone to seasickness) but it too was slow compared with today as a ship's speed depended upon either the wind or rowers.
