Roman roads were built across the Roman Empire from around the 4th century BCE to the 4th century CE, primarily to facilitate military movement and trade. The construction involved a systematic process of surveying, leveling, and layering materials, including gravel and stones, to create durable pathways. Roads connected cities and provinces, enhancing communication, commerce, and administration. Their strategic placement contributed to the Empire's expansion and control, allowing for efficient troop deployment and resource distribution.

Did Trajan built the roman roads?

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.
