The Romans were renowned for their extensive road network, constructed primarily by army engineers during peaceful times. As new territories were conquered, roads were swiftly built to connect them to the empire. These roads were designed straight to facilitate quick military movement and enhance trade. The construction process involved clearing the ground, creating a trench, and layering large stones, pebbles, cement, and paving stones to ensure a durable surface. Kerb stones were also added to manage water drainage effectively.

  1. Roman Roads

  2. The Romans were famous for their roads.

  3. They were built by the Roman army during times of peace.

  4. As each new area was conquered, a road would be built connecting it to the rest of the empire.

  5. The roads were built very straight so the army could march along it quickly.

  6. The roads made trading easier and connected the empire.

  7. How to Build a Roman Road

  8. 1) First, the army builders would clear the ground of rocks and trees. They then dug a trench where the road was to go and filled it with big stones.

  9. 2) Next, they put in big stones, pebbles, cement and sand which they packed down to make a firm base.

  10. 3) Then they added another layer of cement mixed with broken tiles.

  11. 4) On top of that, they then put paving stones to make the surface of the road. These stones were cut so that they fitted together tightly.

  12. 5) Kerb stones were put at the sides of the road to hold in the paving stones and to make a channel for the water to run away.
