| Sumario: | Rome, ancient capital of the Empire; today it is one of the principle tourist destinations in the world. Legend tells how the twins, Romulus and Remus, son of Mars, were abandoned at birth on the shores of the river Tiber. Fortunately, a she-wolf took it upon herself to nurthure then. Letter on, and acordint to the myth, Romulus killed the brother Remus and declared himself founder of Rome.
Roman civilization is one of the most compelling in history; the feats of engineering and techniques of construction are, perhaps, one of its most amazing breakthroughs. The Romans contructed theatres, amphiteatres, baths, aqueducts, temples and an ingenious land communications network tha connected the whole Empire.
The Appian Way, which began in Rome, represented "kilometre0" of every Roman road; this is the origin of the saying: "Al roads lead to Rome".
Europe was replete with roads that shortened distances betweeen the cities of the Empire; Via Claudia Augusta, Via Tiburtina, Via Cassia, Via Flavia and which enabled life for the Romans.
Hispania was one of the most significant provinces of the Empire and had excellent roads, such as the Iter ab Emeritam Asturicam, which is known today as the "Via de la Plata Route", number XXIV on the Antonine Intinerary"
But the present day Vida de la Plata route, whose name could originate from the Arab "al balata", incaning paved road, is in tact a route the would have been used even in protohistoric times. It was the Romans, however, the grave shape to the first great land communication network in the history of humankind.
