Roman Roads
The diagram below shows a cross-section of a Roman road.
Here are some labels which need to be stuck in the correct place on the diagram above.
Can you put the labels in the correct places?
| 1) At the bottom of the trench, the Romans put a layer of big stones. |
| 2) Broken stones, pebbles, cement and sand to make a firm base. |
| 3) Cement mixed with broken tiles. |
| 4) Paving stones formed the surface of the road. These were cut so they fitted together tightly. |
| 5) Kerb stones at the sides held in the paving stones and made a channel for the water to run away. |
