@ScienceDesk @AssociatedPressA lot of todays railways follow the old Roman roads. Those roadbeds were built to last. 😜 We're on the Via Germanica, between Mogontiacum (Mainz) and Bingium (Bingen). Keep going and you'll hit Colonia Agrippina (Köln).

Roman roads crisscross Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
