As the Roman Empire grew, the Romans built 50,000 miles (80,467 km) of roads that extended throughout the empire. Roman engineers were known for building straight roads with good drainage systems so the roads would not flood. They used concrete made from volcanic ash and lime (a substance taken from rocks and minerals and used for building), or other materials depending on what was available locally. The result was straight, hard surfaces, some of which still survive today. The first road leading from Rome was the Via Appia, or Appian Way. It was begun in 312 B.C. By the 200s B.C., four other major roads led from Rome. As the Roman Empire grew, the road system was expanded until it extended into all of the Roman provinces. At the empire’s height, it was possible to travel on Roman roads from Carthage in northern Africa all the way around the Mediterranean to the city of Rome. Copyright by The McGraw-Hill Companies. The road system helped Rome expand its empire. The roads also made it easier for government and military officials to travel to different provinces. Roads helped unite the empire by enabling the spread of Roman culture throughout its provinces. At the empire’s height, the system of roads also made it possible for large numbers of people to migrate, or move, to the empire. The roads built by the Romans helped the spread of people and ideas that lasted into the Middle Ages. NAME DATE Geography and History Activity Cont.
