: Snicker more. Hint - standard railway gauge.

: paving  -- such paving haveing ruts WORN into them inches deep.
: spacing between wheels - standard roman guage.

: Tell me, do you ever use any FACTS?

     This is such a wonderful example of "proof by blatant
assertion" that I just had to come back to it.
    Phil has shown that the 4' 8 1/2" gauge has been used
continually since Roman times.  He then says that, since this
gauge exists on the Silk Road, it must have been used by the
Romans!  No, Phil, you might have a case if you could show 
that the gauge had been used by the Romans and abandoned after
that!
