Roman Road with Mile Stone

Roman Road with Mile Stone

‎The Romans fortified various roads that were already used for centuries. This way they were able to expedite and expand commercial trading, but they also could deploy and move their troops much faster on good roads. Several of these roads are still visible on the ground. The roads fortified by the Romans also were furnished with milestones (picture on the right). These stones mention the emperor who ordered the construction of the road, and indicate the number of miles remaining to the next city. With the help of these mile markers, it is possible even today to figure out the numerous road links that were available in Roman times.
‎Matt 5:41.
