The general appearance of such a metalled road and footway is shown in an existing street of Pompeii.[2] Native earth, leveled and, if necessary, rammed tight. Statumen: stones of a size to fit in the hand. Audits: rubble or concrete of broken stones and lime. Nucleus: kernel or bedding of fine cement made of pounded potshards and lime. Dorsum or agger viae: the elliptical surface or crown of the road (media stratae eminentia) made of polygonal blocks of silex (basaltic lava) or rectangular blocks of saxum quadratum (travertine, peperino, or other stone of the country). The upper surface was designed to cast off rain or water like the shell of a tortoise. The lower surfaces of the separate stones, here shown as flat, were sometimes cut to a point or edge in order to grasp the nucleus, or next layer, more firmly. Crepido, margo or semita: raised footway, or sidewalk, on each side of the via. Umbones or edge-stones.
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 fit together tightly.
5) Kerb stones at the sides held in the paving stones and made a channel for the water to run away.
