Detailed explanation-1: -Via Appia is the first and most important of the great roads built by the Ancient Romans and is, therefore, also known as “regina viarum". It was built towards the end of the IV century BC, in 312, to ensure swift and direct communication between Rome and Capua.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Appian Way-Rome’s gateway to the East-was Europe’s first super highway and the wonder of its day. Built in 312 BC, it connected Rome with Capua (near Naples), running in a straight line for much of the way. Eventually it stretched 400 miles to Brindisi, from where Roman ships sailed to Greece and Egypt.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Appian Way (or in Italian, via Appia Antica) was Europe’s first super highway and remains one of the best attractions in Rome. Possibly the oldest road still in existence, it was ancient Rome’s most important military and economic artery and it’s largely intact today!
Detailed explanation-4: -The first major Roman roadway, built during the time of the Roman Republic, was the Appian Way. Named after Censor Appius Claudius Caecus, construction on the Appian Way started in 312 BCE. It connected the city of Rome to Capua, and eventually to Brindisi in southeastern Italy.
