Rice, Noodles, and Other Grain Foods. We have a pretty good idea when Chinese pasta was invented. It was around 300 BCE. We have it on authority of Shu Hsi, an official editor of ancient texts and one of the most learned men of China. A pasta enthusiast, in about 300 CE, he composed a poem titled: A Rhapsody on Pasta.
Origins: The idiom, âall roads lead to Rome,â was being used as early as the 1100s. It was based off of the ancient Roman road system where roads radiated from the capital of Rome. The road system resembled spokes of a wheel as the picture above shows around the circle. Ammer, Christine. The American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms.
The initial reason for the Roman roads to be built was for troop movement. Civilians soon began using the roads for travel and trade while the government used them for communi â¦ cations.heir military nature was also shown in by the fact that they were usually built on a straight line, even when they crossed hilly areas. Traders also used these roads to transport their goods. They complained that the straight tracts over steep gradients made it very difficult for their laden wagons.
