Appian Way is one of the oldest constructed roads that exist even today. This cobblestone road dates back to the 4th century and was primarily used for military supplies. Throughout history, this road has witnessed some of the major events like the crucifixion of Spartacus' army and the battle of Anzio in the Second World War. The Aurelian Walls are even older than the Appian Way as most of the wall sections were built between 271 AD and 275 AD. Enclosing all the seven hills of Rome, these walls have played a significant role in the past. Today, you can take a guided walking or biking tour down the Appian Way from the Aurelian Walls to step back in time.
