When they say all roads lead to Rome, this is where they lead to. Just to the left of that angled cover are two nondescript little brick structures. One is the Umbilicus urbis Romae and the other is the Milliarium Aureum. Below is a close up. You can just see the corner of the angled cover defined by the yellow line, lower right.
Considered mile zero. At one point this was the center of the universe.
But, it's not so much where the roads lead to in Rome, but what's in Rome.
