arrive at a decision.
Origin:
The idea is that there are many methods to
accomplish something, all leading to the same result.
The phrase all roads lead to Rome may be a take
from a phrase coined by French poet 117 in the Middle Ages in 1175:
“mille vie ducunt hominem per secula Romam,” which means “a thousand roads lead a man forever toward Rome.”
Ancient Rome and the Roman empire is well-known for their
engineering skill. Many ancient Roman structures and architecture are still
intact that used roman concrete, an early version of modern concrete, along
with many Roman roads which also used concrete. These roads provided a route
for a strong Roman economy and for rapid deployment of the Roman army. The
network of roads consisted of 29 roads which connected 113 provinces of the
empire, with Rome at the center installed by Emperor Caesar Augustus.

actions that can be taken and they will all have the same outcome an example
sentence is:
“You can solve the puzzle any way you like, all roads lead to Rome.”
