Projecting Power and Influence
At the height of Rome’s power they had more than 29 great military highways, 113 provinces were interconnected by 372 great road-links, and the whole road system comprised more than 400,000 km of roads, of which over 80,500 km were stone-paved. This enabled the romans to flourish as a civilization for over 400 years and to project their power and influence to the ends of the known world.
In AD 117, under Hadrian’s rule, the strategic construction of forts, towers, and walls began all across the roman empire to strengthen and solidify their military gains along their roads. These outposts were rarely large enough to stop a large opposing force by themselves, but they could act as sensors and alert to trouble and quickly gather enough roman forces up and down the road to oppose these incursions.
