The Appian Way, or Via Appia, is a historic Roman road that once connected Rome to Brindisi in southeastern Italy. Cherished for its strategic importance during the Roman Empire, it is now a popular tourist route with significant archaeological sites, catacombs, and ancient monuments. It offers a fascinating journey through the folds of Roman history, ecology, and architecture.
-
The Catacombs of Rome are comprised of 40 separate underground areas spread through a large vicinity across the area of Rome. To the surprise of many people, the catacombs were not only used for the Christian religion but for all residents during Ancient times going back to Etruscan times. During the Roman imperial time, it became "fashionable" to follow the earlier Etruscan traditions and bury the dead rather than continue with creminations of earlier Roman people. The Christian catacombs are an extremely important area in terms for art history as they contain paintings from 400 AD.
