This. They are more annoying than threatening. I hope we can have big rebellions in I:R like Boudicca's uprising, First Jewish–Roman War or Vercingetorix revolt but Paradox would have to implement guerilla warfare to make them more balanced and historically accurate.
While I totally agree that the Royal roads (I insist on the plural) should be there, some portions were gradually lost to time because of the new political landscape in Anatolia. On the contrary in a politically unified structure like the Seleucid Empire the road to the upper satrapies played a vital role in its management.
It is also notable that there were roads in Gaul in the first century BC, the Romans may have built their roads over Gallic and improved them.

You do know that Roman roads were built to not require repairs.

So only latins can have roads?
celts used wooden roads and the persians had the royal road well before rome was much of anything. Mauryans also built roads, the use of which allowed ashoka to conquer kalinga.
seems ahistorical if they are only limited to rome.

Wasn't that a really menial meaningless task that the Senate handed to him?
Caesar being Caesar borrowed money to renovate the road and transform a relatively minor function into a display of his ambition
Nope roman roads function purely on passive aggressiveness, thinks like floods, earthquakes, landslides volcano eruptions and frost are purely Populist propaganda. Furthermore I think the part to the Laws of the Twelve Tables that one must give right of way over private land if the road is in disrepair is complete nonsense and shouldnt have been included, I mean everyone knows Roman Roads are not only the only roads but also the best, and indestructible. Also everyone knows that the curatores viarum where just people climbing the ladder occupying a job where no actual work has to be done. Honestly a quick glance at Wikipedia shows that Roman roads where frequently maintained and whole offices and laws associated with that existed.
Alternatively you could just state that they won't require maintenance due which ever gameplay reason you wish, instead of making thins up.
I think the “cost” is that your enemies can use the same roads for faster invasions (the historical drawback).
Does the absence of rebel units mean that there are no slave uprisings? Asking for a friend.
What are the factor that impact the growth speed ?
Is it a fixed value of +X% per month or is this linked to trade routes, neighbours and such ?
In other word, if Rome manage to magically get a province in Great Britain, would it grow as quickly as if it was next to Rome ?
