Roman roads are roads that the Romans build to make sure that messages and people could move easily round the Empire.^[1] The roads were helpful for armies, officials, civilians, messengers, and traders.^[2] All the roads put together were more than 40,000 kilometres (25,000 miles) long, and 8,500 kilometres (5,300 mi) of the roads are made of stone.^[3][4]
