Appian Way Sign.
Most famous of the Roman roads, built (312 B. C. ) under Appius Claudius Caecus. It connected Rome with Capua and was later extended to Beneventum (Now Benevento), Tarentum (Taranto), and Brundisium (Brindisi). It was the chief highway to Greece and the East. Its total length was more than 350 mi (563 km). The substantial construction of cemented stone blocks has preserved it to the present.
