Via Appia, Roma - Terracina

The Appianus Road, whose construction began in 312 BC, is the oldest, and perhaps the most famous Roman road. It started at the Roman Forum at Milliarium Aureum and connected Rome with Capua and then extended south to the port city of Brundisium on the Adriatic coast. There Via Appia picked up the coastal road at Tarracina (Terracina).  The road is named after Appius Claudius Caecus, the Roman censor who began and completed the first section as a military road to the south during the Samnite Wars¹. Around the half-century later the road was paved and extended all the way to Brundisium. Half of the trail was marked out by Forum Appius(Torre del Mercato), known for the fact that Christians went there to meet St. Paul (Acts 28:15)
