Little dog on a road. But no ordinary road. This is the Roman road running through Puddletown Forest and Thorncombe Woods, laid by the Second Augustan Legion soon after the invasion in 43 AD. It was originally over 80 feet wide. #romanlegion #romanhistory #romaninvasion #romanroads

Have you always wanted a route planner like Google Maps for the good old Roman era around 2000ys ago?

Then take a look at this amazing research project by a team from several universities led by Tom Brughmans from Aarhus University. Part of the project was the development of such a route […]

All roads in ancient Rome stretched far longer than previously known, study shows As the saying went, all roads once led to Rome — and scientists now say those roads stretched 50% longer than previously known.

Researchers previously tallied the extent of Roman roads as covering around 117,163 miles (188,555 kilometers). The new work shows nearly 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) of roads across the extent of the Roman Empire, allowing travel from Spain to Syria.

Their proud works of war now lie waste and deserted; This fortress has fallen. Its defenders lie low, Its repairmen perished. #EssentialWessex #RomanRoads https://wessexsociety.com/?p=11279
