Topic: Tell me a short, interesting fact about

The Roman Empire was known for its extensive road network, with an estimated length of around 80,000 kilometers (50,000 miles). This incredible network allowed for efficient travel, trade, and communication across the vast expanse of the empire, facilitating its political, economic, and cultural influence. A famous example is the Appian Way, one of the earliest and most important Roman roads, which connected Rome with Brundisium (today's Brindisi) on the Adriatic Sea, a total distance of approximately 560 kilometers (350 miles).
