Probably about the same as modern armies can walk today if walking becomes necessary. I would estimate between ten and twenty miles/kilometers average, but several factors were involved such as the type of terrain and the weather. Then as today, an army could usually make better time on a road than cross country, but as their supply trains (wagons and/or pack animals) moved slowly it was not necessary for armies to move too fast when traveling.
The army literally walked all over the empire. They did not have troop transports in the ancient world, except perhaps for ships to take the men across a sea to do more walking on the other side. A soldier was expected to walk 20 miles in 5 hours at the normal pace and to do 24 miles in 5 hours at a quick pace. They were also carrying about 70 pounds of equipment while doing this.
During the imperial era of the Roman legion, it could move on average approximately 15 miles a day or about 3 miles per hour.
