The latest study by scientists aimed to map the Roman road network and modern light intensity at night. Then the map was divided into grids, and a comparison of Roman roads with the current infrastructure, population and economy was undertaken.<\/p>\n
As the researchers point out, it is striking how many modern cities and economic centres are located on former Roman roads, which have been replaced by modern, often high-speed roads. Even after the fall of the Empire in the west, the cities along the roads survived.<\/p>\n
The study was published in the Journal of Comparative Economics 50 under the title Roman roads to prosperity: Persistence and non-persistence of public infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":120522,"template":"","class_list":["post-120526","odkrycia-rzymskie","type-odkrycia-rzymskie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/odkrycia-rzymskie\/120526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/odkrycia-rzymskie"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/odkrycia-rzymskie"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/odkrycia-rzymskie\/120526\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
