New analysis disproves all roads lead to Rome

A new analysis of the Roman Empire's road network reveals that the most central route did not primarily pass through Rome but instead connected cities like Constantinople, Antioch, and Ankara, highlighting that the popular saying "all roads lead to Rome" is a myth. The study used the Itiner-e atlas, based on historical data and satellite imagery, showing that Roman roads were shaped by terrain and engineering limits, with many modern routes still following ancient paths. The findings clarify misconceptions about the Roman road system and emphasize its influence on contemporary infrastructure.
