According to legend, the saying “all roads lead to Rome” was first spoken by the Roman Emperor Julian.

All roads lead to Rome. It can be said that there are many different methods and approaches to achieve the same goal. It is similar to the Chinese idiom that different roads lead to the same destination, or the saying that water flowing thousands of miles returns to the sea.

This saying originated from Europe. After Rome unified Italy in the 3rd century BC, it developed from a small city-state into a powerful country. The society was relatively stable, the economy was developed, the culture was prosperous, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. In order to facilitate its military and political rule, it built avenues radiating in all directions with Rome as the center, making transportation more convenient, thereby communicating cultural exchanges between cities and provinces, and promoting commercial trade. Products from various places such as The trade and exchange of grapes, olives, metals, textiles, pottery, glass, grains, wine, etc. has reached an unprecedented level of prosperity and has had a profound impact on people's lives. As a result, there is a saying "all roads lead to Rome" across Europe. The proverb is a metaphor for a thing that is in a position that is popular among people and can attract manpower and material resources from all aspects. Later, it was used as a metaphor to accomplish something or achieve a goal. There are many ways to do it.
