The Royal Road — Persian Highway | Heritage Metal Sign

2,500 kilometers from Susa to Sardis. Fresh horses every 25 kilometers. A royal courier could cover the full length in seven days — a journey that took ordinary travelers three months. Herodotus wrote of the Persian postal service: neither snow nor rain nor heat nor darkness keeps them from completing their rounds. The United States Post Office borrowed this line for its motto. The road, the courier, the relay horse, the network that connected the ancient world's greatest empire — in aluminum.
