The ancient Romans had the best engineered roads in ancient history. In fact, many roads in Europe as late as the 1800's were not constructed as well as those of ancient Rome. The Roman roadways served two major areas of importance. One was to enable the Roman legions to be transported to battle areas. Additionally, the roads served as a means for commercial traffic and trading throughout the ancient Roman world. Estimates of the network of Roman roads exceed 10,000 miles.
Some modern roads follow the path of Roman Roads. After the end of the Roman civilization, the stone paving of the Roman Roads was not replicated. However, some Roman Roads remained important trade routes in the Middle Ages and followed trade itineraries which are still used today.

The roads were well built (they still exist) and they were able to move military, goods, and people without much effort.

Roads were built in Roman colonies so they can ride chariots on them.
One drawback to the Roman's roads was they had poor drainage. Another drawback for today is they are too narrow.
Well, the roads themselves are lasting effects in a way. Parts of some of them are still usable today. However the main lasting effect of Roman roads is the routs they took. Many European roads follow the same or similar routs of the old Roman roads. In ancient times the roads brought prosperity to the empire and the opportunity for expansion and the spread of Roman culture.Well, the roads themselves are lasting effects in a way.

Roman military highways are the same as the main Roman roads. Remember that the reason the Romans built their roads in the first place was for the military, plus the military men were the ones who constructed the roads.
