How Roman Roads were Built
The system of roads for mobility has been begun early decades. It was started since the Roman Empire
conquered the world. The roads in Roman era were known as the best construction.
The Romans built roads are for the purpose of mobility, especially for the army. Having the best road,
the army could march from one place to another. They built the roads as straight as possible, so that the army
could take the shortest route.
It is interesting to know how the roads were built, which some of them are still in use today. First, the
Romans builders would clear the ground of rocks and trees. Then they dug a trench where the road was to go
and filled it with big stones. Next, they put in big stones, pebbles, cement and sand which they packed down to
make a firm base. After that, they added another layer of cement mixed with broken tiles. On top of that rough
construction, then they put paving stones to make the flat surface. These stones were cut so that they fitted
together tightly. As the finishing touch, kern stones were put at each side of the road to hold in the paving
stones. It was also used to make a channel for the water to run away.
