What is a famous paved road of ancient rome?

The Romans built many stone paved roads. They totalled 80,500 kilometres (50,313 miles); that is, 20% of the 400,000 kilometres (250,000 miles) of roads in the Roman Empire. The most famous stone-paved road is the Appian Way, which was the first one which was built. It was built in 312 BC to facitliate the movement of troops to the front of the Second Samnite War near Naples The stone-paved roads had a military purpose. They made the movement of soldiers and the delivery of supplies to troops at the front or stationed in garrisons much easier and faster. Since Rome was at war so often, they were very important. They were also used for general travel and the transport of goods for trade. Their military nature was also shown in by the fact that they were usually built on a straight line, even when they crossed hilly areas. Traders also used these roads to transport their goods. They complained that the straight tracts over steep gradients made it very difficult for their laden wagons. After these complaints at least some of these tracts were redesigned to allow for less steep gradients. There were three types of Roman roads: 1) The via munita was the stone-paved road, paved with rectangular blocks of local stone, or polygonal blocks of lava. It had a military purpose. It sped up the movement of troops to the front and made the transport of supplies to the front or to garrison quicker and easier. 2) The via Glareata was an earthed road with a gravelled surface. 3) The via terrena was a rural road of levelled earth. To build a via munita a ditch was ploughed down to the firmest layer of ground that was found. The ditch was filled with rubble from local materials or sand (when it could be found) up to one metre from the surface level. A flat floor of compressed gravel was then made. Then a surface was made by embedding the stones in concrete to create the paving. The concrete was laid in two thin layers. The bottom one had coarse concrete and the top one had fine concrete.
