It’s the road for water… for war.

And they didn’t understand how it worked either. They just took what the Greeks did and copied it, but bigger.

Is this the ancient predecessor of “But Hitler built the Autobahn”?

Sort of. I’d take the Romans over Hitler any day, though, and the warlords they replaced were presumably just as shitty, but without the roads.

Ergo, I meme for them.

Sadly those roads are likely why Christianity managed to spread so far.

A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.
