“The Roman road, which lasted hundreds of years, will undoubtedly have been superior to whatever is built today. Rome was so cool.”
They were great civil engineers, but to consider their roads superior to today’s roads is a bit of a stretch. They didn’t carry anything like the sort of loads ours have to. Of course, we could build better roads for a lower price if we had slave labor too.
“Rome was so cool.”
Until they met their match in the form of Germanic peoples, mere barbarians, they were.
BTW they never really beat the people of Scotland, either.
