If the Silk Road was built by a caravan that traveled frequently, then the avenues built by the Romans were "highways" in the true sense of the word, Rome had legal provisions to stipulate the method of building roads during the Republic, which was completed by soldiers in charge of construction in the army at that time, and at the height of the Roman Empire, the roads built by the state were more than 80,000 kilometers long, from Great Britain to Mesopotamia.

Anonymous users2024-02-03The Silk Road, referred to as the Silk Road, generally refers to the land Silk Road, and is broadly divided into the land Silk Road and the maritime Silk Road.
The overland Silk Road originated from the Western Han Dynasty (202-8 BC) when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions to open up a land passage starting from the capital Chang'an, passing through Gansu and Xinjiang, to Central Asia and West Asia, and connecting the Mediterranean countries. Its original purpose was to transport silk from ancient times in China. In 1877, the German geographer Richthofen named "the Silk Road" in his book "China", "from 114 BC to 127 AD, between China and Central Asia, China and India with silk ** as the medium of this Western Regions", this term was quickly accepted by the academic community and the public, and officially used in the excavation of mountains.
The "Maritime Silk Road" is a sea passage for ancient China and foreign countries to communicate and cultural exchanges, and the road is mainly centered on the South China Sea, so it is also known as the South China Sea Silk Road. The Maritime Silk Road was formed in the Qin and Han dynasties, developed from the Three Kingdoms to the Sui Dynasty, flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and changed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is the oldest known maritime route.
The "Spice Road" was the main sea passage between Asia, Africa and Europe in ancient times. In the ninth century, Venetian merchants bought cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, pepper and other spices from the islands of Southeast Asia in Constantinople and resold them to Europe, reaping huge profits. After the Europeans discovered new sea routes in the fifteenth century, the Portuguese and the Dutch invaded the spice-producing areas and transported large quantities of spices into the European market through unequal exchange and direct plunder, reaping amazing profits. >>>More
