The history of the Via Appia Antica is fascinating. It began in the 4th century BC, thanks to the censor Appius Claudius, known as the Blind, who initiated its construction to facilitate the movement of Roman troops southward. The initial stretch from Rome to Capua was extended over the centuries to reach Brindisi, the most significant port of Ancient Rome.
