All Roads Lead To Rome
The figurative expression, All roads lead to Rome, means that all choices, methods, or actions eventually lead to the same result. In ancient Roman times, this statement had a more literal meaning. The Roman Empire had an advanced system of roads, and all major roads led directly to the capital. New roads were often built shortly after the Empire captured a new city. Stone mile markers told travellers how far they were from the next major city, and a Golden Milestone6 was placed in the capital. Roman roads made it possible to transport military units, goods, and knowledge efficiently, helping7 the Empire expand and achieve great power.
