The Via Appia:
The Queen of Roads

[image ALT: A country road edged with ancient tombs and parasol pines. It is the Via Appia just outside Rome.]

The classic image: the Appia as she looks a few miles from Rome.
Notice that this is asphalt. Only a few meters of Roman pavement are left anywhere.

Images with borders lead to more information. The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
