Back to the Pax Romana

During the Pax Romana, the Roman army built a large scale network of roads. They applied these roads as followed: dig out. lay the outmost stones of the road. lay the fundation (by gravel). lay stones on the fundation, "to asphalt". lay waterchanels along the road and place milestones. They laid these roads usually as right as possible. Because these roads were laid everywhere in the Imperium, the armies could move themselves very well. The citizens also used them. The distants in the Imperium became "smaller", prosperity and trade grew.
