The Roman tuba was used as a military signal trumpet.
You are correct; the Roman military Trumpet was about four foot in length, and was used as a military signal trumpet. It was usually made from copper or iron and was a conical bore straight tube that came in three pieces with a mouthpiece. Although the Roman tuba (trumpet) was used at sacrifices, processions, triumphal processions and funerals, it was primarily used to announce troop movements during battle. Classifications range from 'wind' to 'brass' to 'aerophone' and it was intended to be played as loudly as possible.
They would have had early forms of trumpets/bugles in different sizes. No valves though, as those weren't invented until hundreds of years later. The names of some of these instruments include cornu and buccina.
Aerophone
Normally, a fanfare is a triumphal or heroic type of entrance music used to announce the arrival of a potentate or clergy or noble of some sort. Rather repetitious in form, the instruments used are easily portable and mostly of the horn category. Heroic movies uniformly show a row of trumpeters with long bells on the horns, and with heraldic symbols on small banners attached. State entrances in the Roman era often had stringed instruments and drums and cymbal type melodic noise makers and these have been seen on ancient jars found at the Getty Villa in the Roman collection. If you were a potentate, you made sure you let the common people know you were arriving.

Roman military highways are the same as the main Roman roads. Remember that the reason the Romans built their roads in the first place was for the military, plus the military men were the ones who constructed the roads.
