		The Roman roads were essential for the growth of their empire, by enabling them to move armies speedily and by sustaining land transport for Roman mercantilism.
		Roman roads vary from simple corduroy roads to paved roads using deep roadbeds of tamped rubble as an underlying layer to ensure that they kept dry, as the water would flow out from between the stones and fragments of rubble, instead of becoming mud in clay soils.
		Indeed, one of the symbols of Roman authority was the fasces, a bundle of whips.

		Roman soldiers may have fled eastward along the route to more heavily protected forts in modern Germany during an uprising of local Dutch tribes in A.D. The stretch of road discovered in Houten is believed to have connected two forts — Traiectum, which gives its name to modern Utrecht, and Fectio, modern Vechten.
		Romans first entered this part of the Netherlands under Julius Caesar in the year 53 B.C. Fectio was established around 9 A.D., but Utrecht was not built until 47 A.D. According to the Roman historian Tacitus, an uprising began in 69 A.D., when a Germanic tribe captured two coastal forts.
		Hessing said the road was built of a sloping mound of sand and clay, interspersed with layers of gravel and smashed seashells, which would have stood about a meter (yard) above nearby fields.

		The Romans also brought their own language and script, their form of government, religion and laws, calendar, coins and many other trappings of civilisation with them across the Alps.
