The data from this map was collected from pages 26, 27, 30, and 31 of the 1926 edition of the "Historical Atlas", by William R. Shepherd. The scans used to trace the paths were downloaded from the University of Texas Libraries at: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/history_shepherd_1923.html
I cannot find the latest date these roads were all built in except to say that they were all extremely likely to have been built before 476AD, the ceremonial demise of the Western Roman Empire.
I could add the PNG background but I am as yet unsure how I would embed it in an svg.
