The Roman Road System at the Time of Jesus - Drive Thru History

Most ancient roads were simple dirt paths for caravans. They were notorious for mud pits, wash-outs, and cave-ins. But Roman engineers discovered how to make roads that would last a very, very long time. One of the wonders of Roman engineering was the construction of a sturdy and interconnected road system throughout their entire Empire. The first and most famous was the Appian Way, which connected Rome with Brindisi in Southeast Italy. The Appian Way was started in 312 BC. It was 15-feet-wide and 350 miles long, made of smooth paving stones that can still be seen today.
