A road could carry an army, collect a tax, connect a market, or make a distant ruler suddenly present. This history follows the relationship between roads and political power from ancient imperial routes to early modern turnpikes. It examines the labor that built them, the communities they crossed, and the officials who tried to control movement along them. Roads emerge not as neutral lines on a map, but as costly instruments through which states extended reach and people negotiated it.
