Sounds like a fun experiment, would be cool to recreate a roman road and see

I'd rather see the opposite - a modern road construction without modern usage after 2000 years

There is a rail trail near my house that seams to be similarly constructed to a road.

It hasn't held up well, requires continuous maintenance and additional asphalt.

I have a theory that modern road technology isn't the best, it's the most short term profitable. Designed to wear down and require maintenance and new purchases.
