Roman Roads The diagram below shows a cross-section of a Roman road. Here are some labels which need to be placed in the correct place on the diagram above.
The Romans were famous for their roads, and this page describes how Roman roads were built, and how you could use the topic in the classroom. The Romans built roads so that the army could march from one place to another. They tried to build the roads as straight as possible, so that the army could take the shortest route. How the Road was Built.
The structure of Roman roads varied greatly, but a typical form was an agger, or bank, forming the road’s core, built of layers of stone or gravel (depending on what was available locally). In areas of soft ground the road might be built over timber piles and layers of brushwood.
