We have a lot to thank the Romans for, but some of the most significant are some beautiful pieces of art in the mosaics seen on the floors and walls of their amazing buildings, the early methods of heating houses using the hot air from the furnace funnelled through a series of underground columns and our road structure, of course. It is this road infrastructure that has made it possible for us to open up the country to all and has expanded our trading opportunities. These roads are definitely preferable for UKTDL who are a Same Day Courier Bracknell way, rather than the dirt tracks that we had before.
The Romans designed and built over 3000 kilometres of roads across the country in Britain alone. Many of these routes are still used today by travellers and motorists since the old Roman trackways have been placed on new modern-day highways.
The Romans had three distinct kinds of roads they built.
Via terrena – these were simply simple tracks that were made of compacted earth and continued to be compacted over time.
Via glareata – These were traced, levelled off and given a gravel style surface
Via munita – These were the best kinds of roads and were built of paved stones, generally made of whatever local stone could be found.. These roads were quite similar to those we are constructing today with a slope added to the road, known as a camber, to allow water to flow away from the centre of the road and small walkways or pavements as we now call them along the side of the rod.
