Archaeologists map 185,896 miles of Roman roads, reveal gaps in historical understanding

Researchers characterize map as 'tip of the iceberg' of actual road network

2 Sep 18 · 5d ago · 1 post · 1 source · development 2 of 2

Despite documenting nearly 186,000 miles of roads, archaeologists acknowledge that their map represents only a partial view of the complete Roman road system that once existed, with substantial portions still unmapped or undocumented.

“After developing the biggest-ever map of Roman roads, a team of archaeologists has found that some of our most basic assumptions about them may be way off.”
