Friends, there are other ditches along the road for drainage. Those that are mentioned in the video are for the marking of State property.
You can see the other videos with english subtitles.

Finally, someone explains that Roman roads were not cobblestone nor were they made by simple peasants, but skilled laborers working on plans from skilled engineers, building a multi layer road that was smooth on top.

This is how all such videos should be. Straight to the point, no bs, no long intros, no history of the topic etc. Great work.

The Romans were so much more than a war machine. Incredible engineers and builders. I now understand the saying " all roads lead to Rome"

[whippledmarauder]

Roman engineering never ceases to amaze me what they were able to do for the time

[mikeifyouplease]

Finally!! A video that shows that the surface of Roman roads was SMOOTH!! Today, they are always bumpy, but rarely does anyone bother to explain or show that when they were constructed the top layer was flat and smooth. Thank you!

[troyayoso]

Huge props to the cameraman for filming this thousands years ago!

[audrey]

gets right to the point, no obnoxiously drawn out intros and sponsor reads. great work

[anhvu]

the most acurate and informative 2minutes and 28 seconds video ever

[Carlos-bpvp]

Fun fact: the ditches are for the utility company that would bury their cable 2000 years later. The Romans thhought of everything ☝️

Incredible how the Roman Roads in their heyday so closely resembled the paved highways that crisscross the land today.

[Martial-Mat]

They really were remarkable feats of engineering, especially for a pre-combustion engine age.

[ProModex]

Really appreciate the guy that made this animation.

My mind was blown away at the fact that Romans had road rollers in the same way we have today. It really is true some tech is so advanced, not much changes even after millennia.

I live in the NW part of the UK where some of these roads have been covered in tarmac and used as main roads. Extremely long straight roads. One is actually called "Roman road" running through Blackburn to Greater Manchester/Bolton. The Roman geographical selections were that good the roads are still used today.

Excellent short video which gets to the issue. When the Romans left England (UK) around the year 410, they left a network of roads equivalent to today's motorways. Wonderfully straight roads which we can use to get around the country. Marvellous!

[bartoncessna]

Brilliant video! I learnt more about Roman roads in two and a half minutes than I did in the whole of my school days. Well done to everyone involved.

[omegaman]

Always been fascinated how how well civilized the Romans were. There is also evidence of aqueducts and even fire heating water before delivery. A type of modern water heaters.

I was stationed in Spain back in 83-85. We did a lot of sightseeing, just pick a direction and drive until half of our money was spent then turn around and head back. We ran into a lot of Roman ruins in town, the woods, out in the middle of nowhere. It amazed me that they were still standing, and some still used to this very day.

[ZIMsar]

Fascinating! The Roman's were so incredibly advanced with their engineering.

[billderinbaja]

Excellent presentation. It's astonishing how knowledgeable the Romans were about different types of aggregate, and how the aggregates worked structurally in a system. Your attention to the detail of crowning the road for surface drainage is a CRITICAL element is construction of strong, long lasting roads.
