Talk:Royal Road

message: Is there any reason to believe that Euclid was referring to the specific "Royal Road" as opposed to a metaphorical "special path" to make the learning easier for Ptolemy?Czrisher (talk) 20:59, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Same question, hopefully more to the point: Is there any reason to believe that the persons referred to in section Cultural References referred to any real, physical road that you once could ride along on a horse? – Actually, I believe that never anybody has provided such a reason, so "by default" one just should not believe in such a "cultural reference" to a "real road," and that section should at most consider such a reference to a real road as a "possibility." – Ok, I am trying a quick fix! -- Lueckless (talk) 09:10, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Was there a physical road, perhaps paved, which has left behind actual remains, which could be photographed, or was it just a literary device used by various writers both ancient and modern? If so, then there should be a picture of such road, perhaps with a section on archeological excavation,  methods of ancient Persian road building, &c. 67.206.183.40 (talk) 02:34, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

message: The main article first says The Royal Road was "reorganized and rebuilt" by Darius and then that "Darius built the road..." Are those phrases not contradictory?
Further, when "The Royal Road was an ancient highway...", does that mean ancient in our modern view, or already ancient from Darius' perspective? -- 17:53, 10 September 2021 RobbieGoodwin
:It says in the article: "Because the road did not follow the shortest nor the easiest route between the most important cities of the Persian Empire, archeologists believe the westernmost sections of the road may have originally been built by the Assyrian kings" -- AnonMoos (talk) 23:33, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

message: I feel there is some overlap - should the two articles be merged in some description?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.168.125.112 (talk) 21:48, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
