← HistoryWhich consequence resulted from Vitruvius's road alignment deviations?
A)Slower deployment signal transmission
B)More stable rampart foundation angles
C)Reduced landslide vulnerability profile
D)Increased supply convoy travel times✓
💡 Explanation
Road alignment deviating around obstacles increases route length, increasing travel time because of the increased distance due to avoiding slopes beyond that achievable with 'Agger viae'. Therefore, longer routes, rather than steeper inclines were more common.
