There’s a Roman road near here Let’s see if we can find it I don’t mind exploring before cake it’s good to work up an appetite We should have tea and cake before we start exploring But it’s chocolate cake
Luna tells Nani and Newton everything she knows about Roman roads Did you know The Romans built nearly 53,000 miles 85,300 km of long straight roads all over Europe They made the roads from stone The roads sloped into ditches at either side so that rainwater would drain away Straight roads were faster to move along than bendy ones Straight roads also made it easier for the huge number of soldiers in the army to march to places People would travel along the roads either by walking riding in chariots or in carts pulled by oxen Some of today’s roads run in the same places as roads that the Romans built more than 2,000 years ago And I think I know where there’s an old Roman road near here That’s exciting It should be somewhere here It would be amazing if we found it Have you found something Hero MEEEOOOOW Look Here it is
