The most famous Roman road is the Via Appia, or Appian Way, traditionally called the “Queen of Roads.” Begun in 312 bce by Appius Claudius Caecus, it initially linked Rome with Capua and was later extended to Brundisium. It served military expansion, administration, travel, commerce, and communication across southern Italy.
