Practice Test 8

The ancient Romans developed one of the most sophisticated road systems in history, building over 250,000 miles of roads throughout their empire. These roads were constructed with multiple layers: large stones for the foundation, smaller stones and gravel for the middle layer, and flat paving stones on top. Roman engineers also created a slight curve in the road surface to allow rainwater to drain into ditches on either side. Many of these roads still exist today, nearly 2,000 years later, demonstrating the remarkable engineering skills of ancient Rome.
