The Via Appia, or Appian Way, is regarded as the oldest great Roman road with a securely known route that remains accessible today. Construction began in 312 bce. Sections of its ancient pavement survive near Rome and are now used chiefly by walkers and cyclists, while later roads continue along portions of its historic route.
