Roman Road System Expanding

No, Rome did not resurrect and resume road construction.   11/7/25 Science Alert:

"It turns out that not all roads lead to Rome, after all – at least, not in a literal sense.

"A new map of the empire's ancient land routes has nearly doubled the length of the confirmed ancient Roman road network, from 190,000 to 300,000 kilometers (118,000 to 186,000 miles) – with the major hubs located far from Rome itself."
