I believe history shows us that all ancient roads lead to each and every person's doorstep in some way...

When it states that all roads lead to Rome,i think it means that Rome was the center of everything so everything lead to Rome. and where a lot of civelization started and history! ..... Brittany

it does mean that Rome was the center of everything

It relates to us as humans. We are all connected to one another in some way. We all are related and have something in us that is in common with another person. But yes, I agree. Our history started out with a few known geographical areas and now, life has formed across the world through exploration and discovery

how come Rome wasnt able to hold on and contain their teritory, wen Russia, which is 3x bigger is doin just fine? i mean wth is dat

technically yes we are all know some one who knows someone else who knows someonelse who knows someonelse and so on and so on.....so yes all ancient roads eventually will lead us to each and every person's doorstep in some way

All roads lead to Rome is just a saying not all roads actually lead to Rome.

when it says that all roads lead to rome means that we are all connected in some way by our backrounds

I believe that the saying is just an egotistical exageration made by the pompous and self-indulgent citizens to glorify their power over other people and to show that had indeed produced many roads ~MW

metaphorically speaking, roads connect our historical backgrounds.

I think that the saying means that if you seek success, all roads lead to Rome. In Rome you can be a successful trader, or if you seek fame, you can be a gladiator. If you seek to be famous and rich... "All roads lead to Rome".

how do you think they descovered that all roads lead to rome
jeanette

although they were powerful the romans needed to fortify their position of power by developing expressions which state their powerful position in the world.

so basicly roads that lead to rome mean that religion and geography make up history
celeste

Anyone... Do you think that this culturally superfluous world is still connected by the roads of rome or do you think that the cultures have not melded together in a complete melting pot of diversity? -Lindsay

The person who wrote "Roads are the pathways to our past and also lead to our future." is from me... Lindsay

The person who said "It relates to us as humans. We are all connected to one another in some way. We all are related and have something in us that is in common with another person. But yes, I agree. Our history started out with a few known geographical areas and now, life has formed across the world through exploration and discovery" was me... Lindsay (just making that clear)

the saying is not literal; at the most it means that ideas have traveled to rome from other parts of the world ~MW

Let's look at the positive side of the "all roads lead to rome"... They connect us and all the roads lead to our past and our past experiences in our historical background... Lindsay
