The slight curve engineered into the top of Roman roads, known as camber, was designed to facilitate water drainage. This curvature allowed rainwater to flow off the road's surface rather than pooling, which helped prevent erosion and deterioration. Additionally, it improved traction for vehicles and pedestrians, enhancing overall safety and durability of the road. This engineering innovation contributed to the longevity and effectiveness of the Roman road network.
