The Appian Way, Rome Overview

This is one of the most important roadways in Western history and also forms the basis for the proverb "All roads lead to Rome!"

Via Appia Antica starts properly from the Aurelian walls,and is paved with the original cobbled stones which were laid down when the road was first laid. The historical road is lined with catacombs, tombs, mausoleums and villas that are all a part of the rich history that envelops the city. The best way to explore the Appian way is on foot, or on a bicycle.
