Which consequence resulted as Roman roadbeds settled unevenly?

💡 Explanation

Uneven roadbed settling altered planned gradients initiating subsidence known as differential settlement; this induced modified water pathways because this resulted in water pooling and road weakening, rather than even drainage.
