All Roads lead to Rome - Rome Roads
The history of Roman roads dates back to the 8th century B.C. These roads connected the city of Rome to major towns around Rome, and distant European cities. The roads, though mainly used by the Roman army also are used by the commoners for movement from one Roman town to another. The roads are of three categories:
- Consular Roads were the most important
- Local roads that originated from Rome were named according to the town they led to
- Roads for particular use

Rome water systems locally termed Aquae Urbis Romae, studies the convergences of natural water formations like the river Tiber, streams, springs, marshes, and rain, with artificial water bodies like fountains, aqueducts, bridges, sewers, and conduits. Together with the development of the water bodies, Aquae Urbis Romae has endeavored to establish an ecologically responsible environment for the development of a well-planned infrastructure.
