    oh man, what a horrible infographic.<p>Please listen to Isaac Moreno Gallo. 99% of the Roman Roads had no big stones on it. Only near big cities you have the stone pavement, basically in the cemetery that was outside town alongside the road.<p>People with very little idea about engineering wrote the textbooks of the past and some of the wrong ideas are transmitted even today.

    If they&#x27;re mapped, by definition, they&#x27;re not lost.

      Having knowledge in theory, somewhere and <i>having</i> knowledge avaiable where people can access it, is not the same thing.<p>In other words, maybe unneccesary pedantry?
