During the Roman Empire, lots of roads were built in order to move armies, send messages by courier (信使), and make trade easier. The network of Roman roads wa

Roman soldiers, supervised (监督) by engineers, laid down the roads in a special pattern of layers.

30、nd so on.Also, Roman roads were cambered(拱形). This means that they were built higher in the middle than on the edges, allowing rainwater to run off, which prevented flooding. We use the same technique in building roads today. The Romans also laid out roads over hills when necessary, setting them dow
