Rome - Appian Way

The Appian Way was the oldest and best known of the roman roads. It ran from Rome to Brindisi, a port in southern Italy for voyages to Greece and other eastern Mediterranean destinations. Most of the Appian Way was built in 312 B.C. by consul Appius Claudius Caecus. I do not know whether the paving stones are original.
