R POSTAL SYSTEMS,
Rome Had the Best Organized sys-
tenn of Delivery OF All the An
cient States.

We find the first recor6ed postal sys-
tenn in the Persian empire under Cyrus
the Elder; but it is clear THAI Rome of
all the ancient states possessed the best
organized system of transmitting let
tiers through it's numerous provinces.
All along the great Roman roads houses
were erected at n distance of five or six
miles from each other. AT each Of these
stations 40 horses were constantly kept.
and by the help of relays it was easy to
travel 100 miles in a day.
These services were intended for the
state only, it being imperative to secure
the rapid interchange of official COM
municatIons. In the time of Julius
Caesarthe system was so well organized
that of two letters the great soldier
wrote from Britain to Cicero at Rome,
the n reached its destination in &c
and the other in 20 days. Private citi-
zens had to trust to the services ofslaves
md it is not until the enc of the third
century that we hear Of the establish
ment of a postal system for private per-
sons by Emperor Diocletian, but how
.ong this system remained history does
not say.
