I like how Europe preserves this shit. In America we could have some man made structures 2 thousand years old and the government would sell out for some corporation to tear it down and build a mall.

Latin Americans do it as well.

Speaking of which Aztec architecture looks futuristic as fuck compared to their European contemporaries.

they were made for legions marching on foot

Went there in the summer, Pompeii is being turned to shit by the shitty Italians, half of it is totally overgrown by weeds which are destroying the brickwork and reducing the buildings to ruin, the paintings are being destroyed by the weakly enforced flash photography ban, about 40% of the site was blocked off due to the shitty conditions they had allowed it to be in, much of the site is being ruined by tourists stealing pieces as well. If the site were in Britain or America it would be entirely viewed from a glass walkaway with guards everywhere but in Italy you're just allowed to walk in and trash the place.

I'm actually glad Mt. Vesuvius will erupt soon and cover the entire place up again.

To be fair, Latin America is literally drowning in Mesoamerican ruins. Just look at satellite images and you'll find dozens to hundreds of likely locations of cities, temples, and other structures. Many of them have never been explored by archaeologists.

Roads weren't built for commercial traffic. They weren't built for civilian use at all. They existed solely to move troops faster, and any other benefit was entirely incidental.

Depends how much historical value something has
There are a shit tonne of old forts/castle and that sorta shit just crumbling in fields in Ireland

as a culture they were pretty much a massive military camp, the rest were just random locals, militaristic logic and blind practicality was the basis of everithing they did, everithing about them was either autisticaly pragmatic or rampant orgiastic irrationality bordering on psychotic

Yeah that stopped being a thing by the mid-republic. Lots of roads were built specifically for commerce, especially grain, lumber and the connection of ports to the road network.
Sure, the first roads to be built in a province would be for military use, but come colonization time, the romans would do all the infrastructural work required to facilitate commerce too, they weren't retarded.
