This is really interesting! Where did you get this info from? Could you provide some sources? :) I am working on a presentation about inner city roads in Rome.

@ItaMick Nope, road building is accredited to the Celts. It's covered in Celtic studies courses. The Celts built the roads and created roads on solid foundations through a variety environments such as marsh. At a later date the Romans covered the roads with stone. However, the people would did the organizing and building of stone roads were primarily Romano-Celts.

@shirehorse9 Okay. Yes the Celts built networks of roads. But these roads were not on the Grand Scale of the networks of roads the Romans built. They were not stone and there wasn't even enough evidence that they built them. Also the majority of roads built by the Romans are still in use today hence Rome is accredited for building them. If the Celts built them to the scale the Romans did historians would of accredited them to the ones who built the biggest roads in Europe.

@ItaMick Seriously, look up "Celts Road Building". There were great networks of roads in Europe during the Bronze Age, at least a thousand years before there was a Rome. Road building was expanded by the Celts.

In Europe, the roads were built by the Celts.
