The '''Appii Forum''' (Greek: '''Ἀππίου Φόρου''', 'the market of Appius')<ref>[http://biblehub.com/text/acts/28-15.htm Greek Text Analysis | Acts 28:15]</ref> was an ancient town located on the famous road and highway called the [[Appian Way]], from [[Rome]] to [[Brundusium]], located 43 miles away from Rome, which likely dates from the time of [[Appius Claudius Caecus]], the man who laid the foundations for the Appian Way. During the first century AD, the Appii Forum maintained the rank of a municipality.<ref>Pliny, iii.64</ref> It may be possible to identify the Appii Forum with some ruins near [[Treponto]].<ref>[http://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/appii-forum/ Appii Forum Study Tools]</ref>
According to the early Christian and historian [[Luke]], [[Paul]] met with some Christians who had traveled from as far as the Appii Forum and [[Three Taverns]] in order to meet him, and Paul was encouraged there by his fellow brethren.<ref>Luke, ''Acts of the Apostles'', 28.15</ref>
