After acquiring a large quantity of lime,
Roman's first action was to drive everyone to build the road.
They poured raw materials such as lime, gravel, crushed stone, clay, silt, and even a large amount of wheat straw and weeds onto the road surface, added water, and stirred them into mortar.
This kind of mortar was a very primitive form of concrete.
The main components were sand, stone, soil, and grass.
The lime acted as a binder for the various auxiliary materials, playing a role in solidifying and shaping.
Then, they spread the well-mixed mortar around evenly.
Its various effects were not as good as cement, but for road surfaces, it was qualified and had the advantage of being durable and easy to obtain materials.
