The Appian Way is 560km long and it was built so that Roman soilders could prepare for battle. The Appian Way was the most important, ancient, Roman road. (It was also called the Queen's road). It connected Rome toBrindisi, Apulia in Southeast Italy. It is easy but hard because when Julius Caesar ruled Rome he wanted no traffic during the day. The Appian Way is lined with tombs of Ancient Families of Rome there is normally Funerals at the Appian Way. The Rich, Famous and powerful were buried At the Catacombs.

In ancient Rome, the Appian Way, which was named after Appius Claudius Caecus, dates back to 312 BCE (or BC, if you prefer), when its first section was completed. It was then expanded, as the needs of the Roman Empire required longer roads.
