Roads, ways, routes? The only suggestion I can find in the glossary is taxiway which is obviously not right in a historical context.
TIA,

Sylvia Smith: 9:39am Dec 17, 2005: Yes, given this additional context you are right that "paths" would be too small in nature. -
Josephine79: 12:15pm Dec 17, 2005: (Hi Bourth Thoroughfare - is interesting but wouldn't that be more within the city? What we have here is on the outskirts of the city, where the modern ringroad ties in - and it was already a crossroads in ancient times.
Carmen Schultz: 2:25pm Dec 17, 2005: all three options you suggest would work; you can even use all 3 throughout the passage for variety -

for the above context, TRAVERSED ROUTES (not traffic) works better

As far as the route concept, an example would be \"Trade Route\" for spices, etc., which would be called \"Route Commerciale\"
On anothe note, voie could also be \"Way\"; streets in ancient Rome and other historic cities had major arteries called ways such as the the \"Appian Way\" or \"La Voie Appienne\"
