It is often said that "all roads lead to Rome," and in fact, they once did. The road system of the Ancient Romans was one of the greatest engineering accomplishments of its time, with over 50,000 miles of paved road radiating from their center at the miliarius aurem in the Forum in the city of Rome. Although the Roman road system was originally built to facilitate the movement of troops throughout the empire, it was inevitably used for other purposes by civilians then and now.
Some of the Roman roads are still existing today for example in Belgium. They are handcut granite blocks, placed in sand or stonedust. We would call them Belgian Blocks (the real ones) today.
THEY DIDN'T! Greeks didn't have the need for roads so they didn't build them. But for their railways slaves were sent to dig it up!
