The Appian Way
In the Bible
“And so we came to Rome.” There Paul was permitted to stay by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
Acts 28:14–16
There we found some brothers who invited us to spend the week with them. And so we came to Rome. The brothers there had heard about us and traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he was encouraged and gave thanks to God. When we arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted to stay by himself, with a soldier to guard him.Here today
A park along the ancient road: Roman paving stones, tombs and aqueducts; the stretch nearest the city is lined with catacombs.
