How did the Roman build a strong and unified empire?
The Romans built a strong and unified empire by their army, their law and their language. The army conquered and built roads, the law ruled and the language made communication easy.The Romans built a strong and unified empire by their army, their law and their language.

Why were roads built in Rome?
The Romans developed the famous stone-paved roads for military purposes. They facilitated the movement of soldiers to the front of wars or to garrisons they build in areas they wanted to keep under control and the transport of suppliers to the troops. The first network was developed around Italy, which is where Rome first expanded. They were centred on Rome because that is where the deployment of troops started. As Rome expanded beyond Italy, other stone-paved roads which were not centred on Rome were built around the empire. The Romans did not build roads only for military purposes. The stone paved roads constituted 20% of the 400,000 Km (250,000 miles) network of roads which was built in the Roman Empire. The Romans also built gravelled roads (the via glareata) and level earthen roads (the via terrena). Many of these roads linked part of the empire without being centred on Rome as well.
What were some engineering techniques to make the Roman Roads?
During the times in the ancient world when Rome was gaining strength with each passing year, its roadways were superior to any other roads built by rival civilizations. The Roman engineers made the roads of Rome innovative in the following ways:A. The roads were durable. To this day one can still see the remains of Roman roads. Durability was thus an innovation.B. The roadways formed a wide network. Few if any civilizations in the Mediterranean world ever built such a wide network of roads. Before its collapse Rome had built a network of approximately 10,000 miles.C. The roads were passable. Due the unique drainage systems, rain water slide off into ditches leaving the main thoroughfare passable for marching legions and their artillery and materials carts.D. The roads made travel faster. Roman engineers made every effort to build straight roads and bridges through or over natural obstacles such as rivers and hills.
