Ένα άψογα διατηρημένο τμήμα της ρωμαϊκής οδού Via Flaminia, που ανακαλύφθηκε σε βάθος 0,90 μέτρων κατά τον σχεδιασμό ενός νέου αγωγού νερού στο Riano. Η Φλαμινική Οδός χτύπησε βόρεια από τη Ρώμη, πάνω από τα Απέννινα έως τις ακτές της Αδριατικής.

Bloody hell! It looks like a large patio or drive. It could have been laid a few years ago!!
Looks like the Isle of wight roads
I know road nowadays can’t strong as romans, because road stress, but why they can’t make this technology for pedestrian as strong as this?
🤔
I hope they can keep it and not have to cover it up again…
And still in better shape then modern roads
2500 year old road and it’s smoother than Bessborough
still looks better than any road built today!
A paved road and it still has less cracks and is more even than any of Victoria’s roads outside of Dan’s ring of votes…. I mean steel…
If only our roads lasted that long.
Romans built a whole network of roads ,because of military purpose,they could easily send the troops throught this road network on their borders,they also built aquaducts,to provide a water supply to the cities,even today they are in use,like Diocletianus aquaduct in Split, Croatia
Still better than uk roads now!
Definitely better than majority of roads and footpaths in 🇬🇧
Wonder how thick the paving is and how deep the road foundations are – and what provision was made for drainage – it’s amazing this is in such good condition
Roman roads were much, much wider. It must be only a narrow section.
Although Romans had slaves they used Roman soldiers instead to build their roads.
In better condition than our modern day roads.
Amazing and no potholes like our roads
These Roman roads were better than our ailing Ontario highways 😔
And still flatter than a highway in Detroit
Beautiful but you really think they didn’t discover it before when they dug it all up destroying it to make that blacktop road that crosses its path.
I’ll post a few pics of an old (of course) Byzantine road in a few days time. I won’t be lugging lumps of marble though.
A 2000 year old road in a better structural condition than a 5 year old modern road…. 😉
If roads were built today to match the supposedly superior quality of the Roman roads, what price would taxpayers have to pay?
Council recently uncovered part of the Roman road near me in Newcastle, England
Better roads than the country roads around Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 at the moment. Pot holes galore
Completely different times of technology and great workmanship. Just be jealous of perfection
Yes but apart from the roads, what have the Romans done for us?
This how Rome be came so large and powerful, by building infrastructure.
Wow and look at today’s roads !
The British empire have been trying to cover up such paths as it shows that it’s better than 2022 road building in the U.K.
Roads then were important for trade but especially important to move their legions quicker.
In Britain, Japan and New Zealand people drive on the left of the road. Here in Australia we drive on what’s left of the road.
Everyone saying how amazing the romans were at building roads.
I’d like to see how intact that would be after a months worth of motor way traffic goes over it. 🤔
History is amazing. The Romans were really talented.
Shame our road builders in UK use such shoddy transient materials and make “roads” that pothole and fall apart almost immediately. Bring back Roman technology
These ancient roads and streets had ideal conditions. In most cases they were in well drained soils that had no frost heave. Nor did they have 80,000 lb. loads traversing them on a daily basis.
In much better condition then most of the streets in the city of Leipzig.
I feel like being an architect in italy or anywhere in the Mediterranean is a shitshow because you could spend a year planning a new pipeline or something to help the nearby communities and then everything gets put on an indefinite hold because they found a perfectly preserved roman road
The Roman road building and aqueducts were incredible but their invention of hydraulic concrete was an absolute game changer.
Brilliant.
