The Appian Way, the queen of Roman roads, dated to the fifth century BC

The Appian Way, the queen of Roman roads, dated to the fifth century BC. At one time it was 330 miles long stretching from Rome to Brundisium on the Adriatic Sea . Commerce coming from and going to points in the eastern Mediterranean traveled this road. It’s likely that the Appian Way was the last leg of Paul’s journey from Caesarea Maritima to Rome to appeal to Caesar the charges brought against him in Jerusalem (Acts 28:11-15).
