That is “Calçada Portuguesa” and it is a typical portuguese pedestrian pavement used in all its previous and current territories.
Origin? Probably roman but the name and official technique started in the XIX century.
> Could it have derived from Roman influence in Lusitania?
Some of the techniques in laying this type of pavement do have their roots in how the Romans paved their roads (if it ain’t broke don’t fix it type of deal), but the *calçada portuguesa* is undoubtedly Portuguese in origin. It only dates back to the 19th century (hence why it’s so well documented), when the first roads were installed in Lisbon in 1842.
We only know they were bestowed upon us in 1987 by Xervem the great galactic overlord. Previously we just used asphalt. They are indestructible so not much we can do about it.
