All Roads Lead To Rome
The figurative expression, All roads lead to Rome, means that all choices, methods, or actions eventually lead to the same result. In ancient Roman times, this statement had a more literal meaning. The Roman Empire had an advanced system of roads, and all major roads led directly to the capital. New roads were often built shortly after the Empire captured a new city. Stone mile markers told travellers how far they were from the next major city, and a Golden Milestone was placed in the capital. Roman roads made it possible to transport military units, goods, and knowledge efficiently, helping the Empire expand and achieve great power.The figurative expression All roads lead to Rome means that all choices, methods, or actions lead to the same result or goal.
The Golden Milestone was a mile marker that stood in the Empire’s capital city, Rome

The word milestone usually refer to aim. In ancient world people use mark a sign on road to measure the distance, So they can easily calculate how far they are away from destination. The milestone I successfully accomplished is to loose my weight from 100 kg to 70 kg.
