Across the whole empire
transport routes emerged.

Especially as the many legionaries
from the individual provinces

had to serve as construction workers.

covered their Empire

00:00:19,793 --> 00:00:21,665
with tracks and stone streets.

00:00:22,307 --> 00:00:26,255
The connections led from their capital
to the outermost limits,

00:00:26,279 --> 00:00:31,263
through forests and virgin land,
past legion’s camps and cities.

The Roman transport system
was the result of unprecedented planning.

00:00:36,542 --> 00:00:40,747
Goods, people and news
came from Rome to Spain

11
00:00:40,776 --> 00:00:46,162
from Britain, Gaul or Germania
to the Black Sea or North Africa.
