Rome had some of the best roads during 753BC. Roman Engineers would prepare a deep bed made up of crushed stones, pebbles, cement, and sand, edge the curbs, provide drainage areas, and finished them off with Large flat paving stones.

Roman Aqueducts

Meathods for creating the Roman roads used long ago are still used today, whether it be for the simple appearance of it in common architecture or its ability to stay in such good shape for centuries.

Features of Roman roads

most roman roads were built in straight lines, had drainage gutters, and had milestones alongside them which told how far a road would be from road. Occasionally they listed who built the section of road and how much it costed .

Roman Ships

Wagons

The romans used ships for mainly warfare but they also used them for trade. Since the vast Roman empire covered so much land on or around major bodies of water the Romans had a very large and powerful navy.

The wagon was a four wheeled vehicle drawn by one or more horses. Sometimes they would be drawn by oxen because they had more power. The wagon was usually used to haul and carry construction material and agricultural goods.

How roman Aqueducts work

Roman aqueducts were linked to a reservoir of water by an intake. the water from the reservoir would drain into the intake and traveled down a route in which was a straight path towards a city.
