Summary/Abstract: Understanding of the aggregation of institutes, institutions and legal techniques, used in the public administration and modern public law, can be understood in reference to the detailed investigation of historical roots and especially the practices and rules, which come from the Ancient Rome and go through the legal history of Europe. This is particularly clear expressed in tracing of the legal framework of building, repairing and maintaining of the eminent roman roads – one of the unique artifacts of the Antiquity, partly preserved nowadays. They served for solving problems, which were of great importance for the state: protection of the borders, ensuring of the government, public order and normal development of the provinces, but also for exchange of goods, travelling for commercial and other deeds, postal services and so on. Due to them was realized those remarkable exchange of cultural values and legal rules, which completed each other to create in time of the Empire those magnificent monument, called Roman law.In the article are reviewed separate aspects of terminology and classification of the roads, their promulgation as public property (res in uso publico), the assignment of building and its control, which all have a lot of common features with the modern procedures of assignment of public procurement and concessions. The main focus is on the pragmatic approach of the roman jurists in creating of those legislation, differentiation of financing and the ways of realization of building and special attention on the control of the settled actions in the contract, as well as the acceptance, testing and the guarantees for the accomplished building. Rome gives us ideas how to manage rationally and effectively the acts of planning, building and maintaining of roads and how that should be a priority in the state politics.
