The Roman military roads were built
to accommodate an immense army ad-
vancing battle array. and therefore
the statement that they were far superb“
or to our macadam turnpikes even need
not cause surprise. The width of the
road varied according to its importance;
some of them were 120 feet wide, though
in the provinces the width varied be-
tween 40 and 0 feet. The roadbeds
were as carefu ygradcd and built as are
those of our railways. The Roman road
builders were at great pains to make the
road as straight and curvoless as possi-
ble. Often this air line could be attain-
ed only by deep cuts through rocks and
mountains or. by steep fills, bridges and
culverts. The roadbed was prepared by
excavating all the, soil for the entire
width of the road down to hardpan. The
space than excavated was filled in with
hard materials until the requisite level.
however high it might be. was reached.
The roads did not- run up hill and down
hill, but so far as was possible; and
mu'ch Was possible, natural obstructions
wereovercome, and a grade once reach-
A nonhnx nronwar. ,
[From Good Road-L]
ed was stubbornly maintained, it might
be by raising tho’readbed, often at great
expense, to the level of the grade already
attained. In mountainous regions great
embankmeuts wore built both below the
road to support the roadbed and above
the road to prevent landslides. They did
nothesitate even to make tunnels. -
Tho ornan road was built for eterni-
ty. W on the roadbedhad been prepared
by e ovation, as described above, it
was c refuliy refilled regardless of ex-
pense ith layers of sand, stone and co?
imam. . ..
'estigetious wftli regard to the prep.
oration of the roadbeds were made
years ago by Bergler on Roman roads
that are still in use in France and with
the following results: In one road the
excavation down to hardpan was three
feet deep. This trench was filled up
first with a layer of stud and cement an
inch thick; then came a foot layer of
flattish stones and cement, then a foot
layer of small traveled stones and co-
,ment. These last two layers were so
hard and firmly knit together that tools
could break oi! fragments only with
great difllculty. The next layer consist—
cd of a foot of content and sand covered
with a top dressing of gravel.
In another road in France ”the foot
layer of cement and sand exchanged
places with the layer of cement and
traveled stones. A third road in France
was exnmi It a point where it had
been rais 20 feet above the surround-
ing country, and a vertical se'ctiou ’ro‘
vealed a structure of live layers. First
came the great fill of ion, feet. On'top
of this till they placed first a foot layer
of flattish stones and cement, then a
foot layer of ilattish stones without
mortar of any kind. then a half foot
layer of firmly packed dirt, then a half
foot layer «it email gravel in hard ce-
ment and lastly a half foot layer of co-
mant and large gravel. . .
'Paved roads were exceptional. An ex»
ample of paved road is the Via Appin,
whose pavement consists of a hard kind
of stone, suction is used for millstonos.
The stones of this pavement are careful-
ly bowed and fitted together so precisely
that the road often appears to be solid
rock and has proved to be so indestructi-
ble that after 2,000 years of continuous
use it is still a magnificent road.
Ordinarily, however. the top dressing
of the road consisted of gravel and hard
cement, and when, in the countless in-
scriptions, such and such a governor is
said to have restored a given road ref-
erence is made to this top dressing of
grand and cement. The width of the
military road was usually iii) foot, the
raised center being 20 feet wide. with
side tracks each of the width of 20 feet.
In some roads the raised center was
paved, while the side trucks were drew
ed with gravel and cement.
The vine privata‘. and the feeders of
0 military roads Were usually dirt
roads. They were much narrower than
n dth of only it) feet, and indeed the
of ore of the Via Appla were only :3
feet wide. but paved. The width of Re-
man roads. all told, varied. therefore,
from 2 to 120 feet.
In conclusion, it must be remarked
that all streams crossed by military
roads were spanned by bridges, of which
there were three kinds—those made on-
tll‘ of Wood, those made of stone and
new and those made of storm thrimgh-
out. Many of the Ill stone bridges are
still in use. Several of them span the
Tiber to this day. both in and outside of
Rome. Not only this, but Roman
bridges are still used by soniibarharous
peoples who per have never even
