Ancient Roman road in Portugal. The first of the great Roman roads, the Via Appia (Appian Way), begun by the censor Appius Claudius Caecus in 312 bce, originally ran southeast from Rome 162 miles (261 km) to Tarentum (now Taranto) and was later extended to the Adriatic coast at Brundisium (now Brindisi).
How did roads contribute to the empire success? Roads facilitated communication between the various parts of the  vast Roman Empire. This facilitated general travel, the transport  for goods for trade and the journeys of â¦officials and state  messengers to the provinces of the empire.
