This made me think anachronistically about using RTT (Rount Trip Time) in IP networks to geolocate endpoints from multiple test sites, using approximations to the best possible speed, light speed (in fibre or copper) and circles of location.

People should really check Isaac Moreno's Youtube channel.

Isaac is a civil engineer that worked for the Spanish road service and amateur historian.

He routinely refers to GIS techniques in his videos and work to uncover the routes of both Roman roads and aqueducts in Spain.

He is involved with a state-sponsored website for the Roman road layout in the province Castilla-León:

He consulted on and presented a documentary series on Roman engineering for the Spanish public TV, RTE:
