Jalan Appia

Jalan Appia (Jalan Apius; bahasa Latin dan bahasa Italia: Via Appia) adalah salah satu jalan Romawi yang paling tua dan secara strategis yang paling penting republik. Jalan ini menghubungkan Roma dengan Brindisi, Apulia, di Italia tenggara. Statius menyebut jalan ini sebagai "ratu jalan panjang" (Latin: regina viarum).^[1]^[2] Nama jalan ini diambil dari Appius Claudius Caecus, censor Romawi yang memulai dan menyelesaikan bagian pertama dari jalan ini sebagai jalan militer ke selatan pada tahun 312 SM dalam Perang Samnium.

In ancient times the Appian Way, which links Rome to the southern city of Brindisi, was known as the regina viarum, the queen of the roads. But these days its crown appears to be tarnished by chronic traffic congestion, vandalism and, some of its guardians grumble, illegal development.
