The consular roads are a tangible demonstration of the greatness of Rome and in particular the ancient Roman civilization. From the ancient Romans, in fact, inherit those that are still functional backbone of urban connection better known as consular roads.The Romans were the first to introduce into their civilization the need for travel for this create a dense network of roads that can reach every village and conquered civilized.To the spread of the empire is automatically made the expansion of road network that runs along a ridge leading departing from a myriad of secondary roads that served by the exchange between cities and suburbs. Rome is becoming a big city and to become even bigger and more pressing the need to make it accessible from all parts of the empire.We are therefore witnessing a high engineering works that are still unexplained is the enormous amount of material transported - note that the Roman roads were all paved with stone slabs complete roadsides - and for the detailed study of geo-archeology.A memory of man does not remember that ever slid down a Roman road, all the work ahead of construction is still under investigation.But let's order.

The first roads built by the Romans primarily uses the war, in fact, the primary requirement to allow their legions can be adequately supplied and to be reached in a limited time, these works gave a value of legend.Then he went to the construction of roads for political purposes but this type of construction involved mostly small villages around Rome from the beginning a source of political advertising for the Senators at the time.In a second phase, the roads were better interpreted "in fact were snapped up by businesses.

Hence the opening to the East full of infinite riches, you go by road, it is appropriate to say, trade for profit and not intended to barter for essential civilian needs.From a spontaneous birth of straight roads and baptized as needed (you can include the Via Salaria dedicated to the transportation of salt), with a public strongly supported by politicians (hence the name of censors and consuls).At the bottom of ancient Rome to build a road very little cost, the manpower used was mainly that of slaves and soldiers, and not cared much for expropriation and even environmental impact, and that's being built.The main thing was that the road built would last forever.We can say without a shadow of contradiction that the objective was fully achieved and the proof is that after nearly two millennia still remember and use Questro works great.
