"A new digital atlas, published on Thursday, has revealed the ancient Roman road network stretched an astonishing 50 per cent further than previously understood, challenging long-held perceptions. Updating an atlas compiled 25 years ago, this new publication leverages technological advancements and newly accessible sources to greatly improve the location of ancient routes. Over five years, archaeologists meticulously examined historical records, ancient journals, and milestone locations."
"They then utilised satellite imagery and aerial photography, including recently digitised World War II photos, to find clues. Where ancient accounts hinted at lost roads, scientists analysed terrain from above for subtle traces. These included faint differences in vegetation, soil variations, or shifts in elevation, alongside Roman engineering signs like raised mounds or cut hillsides, ultimately revealing the forgotten lanes."
