The Appian Way is the ideal continuation of the discourse on imperial monumentality. If the forums and palaces were proof of power within the city, the Appian Way (or Via Appia) was a demonstration of Rome's power beyond its borders, a peerless feat of engineering and propaganda. Called by the ancients Regina Viarum (Queen of Roads), the Appian Way is more than just a route: it is an open-air museum that embodies the wealth, politics, and ambition of every Roman era. Cyclists, both Roman and otherwise, love to travel, a journey through nature and history.

According to tradition, Saint Pancras, to whom this church—the seat of the Bishop of Albano—is dedicated, was publicly executed for his Christian faith at the end of the 3rd/beginning of the 4th century under Emperor Diocletian. The martyr's body was buried on the Roman Via Aurelia—in the catacombs later named after him—beneath the present-day church of San Pancrazio. Saint Pancras' feast day is May 12th; in popular piety, he is one of the three so-called "Ice Saints," along with Saints Servatius and Boniface (in some regions, this is supplemented by "Cold Sophia" one day later).

The Appian Way is the perfect place for a family bike ride, away from the hustle and bustle. The paths are mostly very well-maintained. In some places, you can cycle alongside the Appian Way on sandy paths, as the old stones are not very pleasant to ride on. However, this is only the case in a few places. Furthermore, throughout the entire ride, you can repeatedly see ancient ruins, etc., on both sides. Just passing by is wonderful.
