Roman road network more extensive than previously thought
A new mapping project undertaken by an international research team has discovered that the network of Roman roads during the height of the Roman Empire around 150 CE was considerably more extensive than previously thought, running to nearly 186,000 miles (300,000 km) – almost twice that shown on earlier maps. The new open access digital atlas called Itiner-e includes secondary roads between settlements as well as principal routes between Rome and major cities in the Roman Empire.
