You can ride the Via Appia so reasonably well with the bike. There, where the old Roman pavement is still located, it is no fun. It looks good for that.

The first suburban miles of Via Appia Antica in southeastern Rome are a Grade I archeological site and a popular recreational area. The road and its surroundings are protected as a regional park from the further approach of suburban development. As an arterial road, the Appia was in antiquity lined with tombs, estates and spas. In addition to numerous aboveground monuments on the edge of the road are some excavations and the entrances to several early Christian catacombs. (Source: Wikipedia)

The Via Appia was built in 312 BC Created by Appius Claudius Caecus. It starts in Rome on the Porta Capena and originally led only 195 km to Capua. Around 190 BC The road was extended to Brundisium (today Brindisi), which became the most important trans-shipment center for goods and slaves from the Orient. The Via Appia became one of the most important trade routes in Italy and the Roman Empire. It was no coincidence that she was nicknamed Regina Viarum, "Queen of the Streets", back in antiquity.

As a rule of law dictated that no casualties should be buried in the area of housing estates, this was usually done along the arterial roads. As the Via Appia was one of the most important streets, it made possible for the burials and their families with their tombs a good opportunity to represent their prestige and fortune. Along the Via Appia not only a great many graves are laid out, but above all a number of large grave monuments have been erected
