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>
