First of all remember that the Roman empire was the center of the ancient world during its time period. Other empires, Egypt, for example, were considered centers of the ancient world during their time periods. As for the Romans, they were the masters of most of the known western world for close to a thousand years and the city of Rome was their capital. Laws and regulations went out from Rome and tax revenues came in. The senate or the Caesars ruled by diplomacy or by military force. "All roads lead to Rome" was not just an idle phrase; if one traveled on a road it would lead one to the city of Rome, either directly or by joining another direct road.First of all remember that the Roman empire was the center of the ancient world during its time period.

All roads lead to Rome!!!
In a way, yes, but mainly, no. The Via Appia is Rome's oldest highway and goes from Rome to Brundisium. So its basically a road outside of Rome. But since all roads led to Rome, the pathway of the Appia would go through the city and terminate at the "umbilicus Romae" or the center of Rome, from which all distances were measured. In that aspect it would have been in Rome as well as outside of the city.
The expression “all roads lead to Rome” is a modern rewording of several medieval expressions which are thought to have originated as a reference to the Militarium Aureum (Golden Milestone) and to Roman roads. The Golden Milestone was a monument erected by Augustus near the temple of Saturn in the forum, the heart of the city of Rome. All roads were considered to start from this monument and all distances in the Roman Empire were measured from this point. The oldest record one of these expressions comes from Alain de Lille, a French theologian and poet who in 1175 wrote ‘A thousand roads lead men forever to Rome.” The oldest from in English comes dates from 1391, from Geoffrey Chaucer’s Treatise on the Astrolabe (an essay on an instrument used by astronomers and navigators). He wrote: “Right as diverse pathes leden the folk the righte wey to Rome.” The meaning of theexpressionis, different paths can lead to the same goal.
If all roads lead to Rome, all roads lead away from Rome -- take one.
all roads are said to lead to rome
It means exactly what it says. In ancient times, if you kept going long enough, you would eventually end up in Rome. All the road markers and distances were measured from the center or Rome. In modern times is can be an expression stating that several methods will obtain the same results.

I don't think that there is any one speech that invented that saying. Nor is there any famous speeches that use it jumping to mind. I do know, though, that this was a famous saying in the Roman Empire. Rome had an amazing road system starting from all of its gates going to every city they ruled. So they said 'all roads lead to Rome', because anyone living in the Roman Empire could get there on a stone road.

There is an old expression, "All roads lead to Rome." In ancient Rome, Rome was the heart of the empire. Each time a new city was conquered, a road was built from that city back to Rome. Roads were built in straight lines. Many had gutters. Along the side of road, the Romans built road signs called milestones. Milestones did not give any information about other towns in the area. Milestones told how far it was back to Rome.
