Which impediment slows Roman troop movements when roads degrade?

💡 Explanation

Degraded Roman roads increase the roads' SURFACE FRICTION, promoting greater rolling resistance because this opposes troop pull; therefore troops move slower, rather than increased axle expansion that affects wheeled devices or directly influences soldier ability.
