The aggregate totality of discrete, longitudinally and latitudinally oriented thoroughfares, each constituting a physically demarcated and, in many instances, intentionally engineered conduit capable of accommodating mechanized terrestrial conveyances, which traverse the contiguous European segment of the expansive supra-continental landmass historically and geographically designated as “Eurasia,” collectively function as navigable vectors or channels facilitating directed ingress or egress to a singular, preeminent urban locus of sociopolitical, cultural, and administrative significance—specifically, the municipally and historically consecrated epicenter known as Rome, itself the capital polity of the modern nation-state denominated Italy.
