  5. Roman Roads As the empire grew, so did trade. A road system was needed to allow access to all areas . It was used to transport troops, goods, money and messages. The Romans built nearly 90000km of flagstone roads and 20000km of secondary roads. They were protected by the legionaries.

  6. Aqueducts Romans invented the first system of running water. Aqueducts were made to transport water from the mountains to houses, baths and institutions. The aqueducts were constructed on a slant to allow the water to flow to wherever it was needed

  7. Trade Trading posts were set up in many locations, which led to a lot of trade activity. The provinces used the roads made to transport their goods. They exported most of it to Rome where the richest people lived. Natural resources, slaves and products were supplied through trade.

  8. Taxes Taxes were used to pay for the army, public service and to pay civil servants. Any slave rebels of Rome were taxed. The taxes were collected and also used to pay for food and entertainment for those who did not work. This plan was set up to prevent rebellions from happening.
