Rome's 250,000-mile road network connects every corner of the empire — infrastructure that missionaries will later use to spread the gospel.
By the late Republic and early Empire, Rome's road network was the most advanced transportation system the ancient world had ever seen. The Via Appia, Via Egnatia, and hundreds of other highways connected Rome to every province with paved, drained, mile-marked roads. Roman soldiers built them for military logistics, but merchants, travelers, and eventually apostles used them to move freely across three continents. Paul's missionary journeys followed these roads.
