This documentary series describes the ability of the Romans to accept and assimilate knowledge, no matter where it came from, and then perfect it. 

The six episodes show the engineering of Rome and the astuteness of its engineers in applying knowledge and resources to the construction of prodigious structures that were designed to link the vast territories of the empire, to control the water supply and to build extraordinary cities. This new episode, “Roads”, follows previous ones screened at Arkhaios: “Cities”, and “Aqueducts”. 

We will see the challenges faced by the Roman engineers and the way they approached and overcame them. We will come to understand the huge difficulties of the time and how these were dealt with. We will marvel at the astuteness and skill of humankind and be amazed at the effort needed to undertake projects that, in the majority of cases, can be considered extraordinary and colossal. 

Finally, we will travel across half the world, and especially on the Iberian Peninsula, to see the remains that still survive. Remains that, thanks to all the above, we will have the enormous satisfaction of being able to understand and interpret.
