About this listen

Lucas and Luna explore the engineering, logistics, and legacy of Roman roads—the vast network that bound the empire together. From the Appian Way to milestones and military surveyors, they discuss how roads were built, who used them, and how they shaped Roman control. Learn about the cura viarum, the itinerarium, and the mansiones that turned a patchwork of provinces into a connected world. This episode digs into the practical details: layers of gravel, cambered surfaces, and the soldiers who laid them. Plus, the surprising afterlife of Roman roads in medieval and modern Europe. A concrete (and cobbled) look at how Rome ruled the ancient world—one mile at a time.
