The term 'Rome's ___ Way' is referring to the Appian Way, an ancient Roman road built in 312 BC. The Appian Way was the first long-distance road built by the Romans and connected Rome to Brindisi, a port city on the Adriatic Sea. It was named after Appius Claudius Caecus, the Roman censor who ordered its construction. The Appian Way was used for centuries as a major trade route and was also used by Roman armies during military campaigns. Today, parts of the Appian Way are still visible and it is considered one of the most important archaeological sites in Italy.
