Why do all roads lead to Rome

Back in the times of Alexander the Great (and other conquerors), everyplace they took over they would build streets and roads. They would always have a road leading to their capital (or a road leading to a road going there, you know what i mean) for tax reasons and so that people would remember who was in charge.

Since Rome took over most of Europe, for a while most roads really did "Lead to Rome"
