Of course that speed is for relatively modern, trained soldiers.

The Romans considered 15 miles on the road a day's journey as evidenced 
by their inns every 15 miles along the Roman roads in Britain.

Off road, should be less. 5 miles for hard riding of a horse used for 
fast messaging.

Reading about Roman Roads in Britain is an amazing source of ancient 
travel information.
