Roman Roads
When we look at history, we tend to focus on grand things like great leaders and great battles. In reality, what makes for successful empires is often the mundane: stable laws, an uncorrupt civil service, or, for large sprawling empires, a system of roads. Roads were one of the secrets to the success of Rome, and they proved useful for centuries, even after the empire's fall. Learn more about Roman roads and how they linked together a vast empire on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. Sponsors Plan your next trip to Spain at Spain.info!
