The first paved road is often considered to be the Via Appia, or Appian Way, built in ancient Rome around 312 BCE. This road was constructed with large stone slabs and connected Rome to the southern regions of Italy. It played a crucial role in trade and military movement, showcasing early engineering techniques in road construction. The Via Appia set a precedent for future road-building efforts in the Roman Empire and beyond.

Ancient Rome had the first system of paved roads. However they were not the first paved roads, they were the first system of paved roads. System is the key word here. The ancient Egyptians had what is believed to be the first paved road in the Old Kingdom which was during the age of the pyramids from 2600 to 2200 BC. It was unearthed going from a quarry to the pyramid building site and it is thought to have been used to move the stone blocks easier. Another oldie was found on Crete, dated to about 2000 BC. Both of these ancient roads were not part of a network, they were simply paved roads used for a specific purpose for a specific distance.
