    I've seen videos which attribute some of the layers to later repairs but the Romans certainly knew how to build . The palace in Fishbourne Sussex has massive walls and many of the building materials are easily comparable with what is used today . Bodies have been found in the ditches alongside roads as burials had to be outside City walls .

    You might like this contemporary view from Britain where Paul Whitewick has actually been walking our Roman roads and discusses their construction from excavation evidence. Among the myth busting it reveals that the engineers went with local materials rather than following an idealized recipe for construction, which would have meant vast imports of resources:

    Or is modern road construction amazingly archaic?
