The Romans built a huge a network of 400,000 kilometres, 250,000 miles) of roads throughout the empire. This was greatly beneficial for overland trade. About 20% (80,500 kilometres, 50,313 miles) of this network were the famous stone-paved roads. They had a military purpose. The speeded up and made easier the movement of troops and of supplies to soldiers at the front or in garrisons. Since Rome was at war so often, they were very important. They also made communications and the transport of goods for trade easier.
The Mediterranean was the heart of the Roman Empire and a key communication system. Good were shipped from all over this sea and were shipped to the four corners of this sea. Rich Romans established shipping companies and the shipping of goods for trade was on a massive scale. Roman concrete could also set underwater. The Romans used this to build docks for much bigger ports.
Bridges were also important to facilitate the transport of goods for trade. The use of the arch and of concrete made it possible for the Romans to build much bigger and longer bridges which could cross much wider rivers and valleys and much deeper valley. This greatly enhanced the communication and transport system of the empire.
When bridges had to reach great heights, two or three tiers of arches could be built on top of each other to make the top of the bridge much higher. The greatest example of this technique is the Pont du Gard, a bridge with three tiers of recessed arches with the main piers in line one above the other. The first two tiers have very high and wide arches and a third tier has low and narrow arches. It was built to carry an aqueduct to Nimes in southern France. It reaches a height of 48.8 metres (160 feet). The lower tier is 142 metres (466 feet) long and has six aches with a height of 22metres (72 ft.). The second tier is 242 metres (794 ft.) long and has eleven arches 20 metres (66 ft.) high. The upper tier is 275 metre (902 ft.) long. It originally had 47 arches (only 35 have survived) 7 metres (23 ft.) high. The width of the first pier is 6 metres (20th.), that of the second pier is 4 metres (13 ft.) and that of the third pier is 3 metres (23 ft.)
