The first of the famous Roman stone paved roads, the Appian Way, was built in 312 BC, during the Roman Republic, long before Rome had emperors. The Romans built their roads over many centuries and their construction was commissioned by many different men. The emperors were not responsible for building roads. Originally the officer of state responsible for building roads was the censor. When the empire grew too big for one man to be responsible for the building of roads in such a large empire, the responsibility was handed over to the provincial governors. In Italy, a special commission was instituted for this purpose.
