From the source referenced below:

"The origin of the expression lays in the Romans' well-deserved reputation for their construction skills. Their network of roads, all of which headed towards the capital city, meant that they literally did all lead to Rome. The expression came to have the connotation that no matter which way you chose to go, the outcome of something would be the same, with no one option being better than another. "

No matter where you go, there you are. You can't get away from yourself. You can take any path you want, but you are still there, with the same issues you had when you walked away.
