Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The vast Roman Empire boasted a very large and extensive network of roads. It is estimated that the roads in the network were more than 400, 000 km long and that over 80, 500 km out of those were stone-paved. The road network was important in maintaining the stability of the empire and its expansion.
