In order to be able to move legionary forces rapidly and easily about the Empire, the Romans built an extensive network of roads branching out from the capital. The first and most famous, the Via Appia, led from Rome to Brindisium on Italy's east coast, departure point for the eastern provinces. A stretch of Roman road is built as an experiment to illustrate how Roman engineers went about constructing roads so durable that many survive to this day.
