It’s true. All roads lead to Rome. Neat article. Amazing how Lidar was used to find these roads. I wish I could use it on a few places where I suspect buried treasure awaits the diligent explorer.

Well, at least the UK’s Environment Agency is good for something.
How wonderful for history — and for that retired road engineer.
