The '''Appian Way''' (Latin: ''Via Appia'') was one of the most important roads of ancient [[Rome]] and the oldest of the great Roman military highways. Constructed beginning in 312 BC under the direction of the Roman censor [[Appius Claudius Caecus]], it originally connected Rome with [[Capua]] in [[Campania]]. It was subsequently extended through southern Italy to [[Brundisium]] (modern [[Brindisi]]), providing a major route for military movements, commercial transportation and communications with [[Greece]] and the eastern Mediterranean.
