information on roads in the 1450's?

Answer 1

Could you be a *bit* more vague?

Where, what kind of roads, what info? Size, composition, capacity?

Answer 2

There were very few roads in the 1450s, Jazz. Mostly leftovers from the Roman iters, or roads, that they had built in a few places during their supremacy. Travel was by foot, horse or cart on trails.

Answer 3

Not sure what you want but have found the following sites that deal with maps of the 15th century - so at least you know where the roads go!
