The Via Appia Antica or Appian Way connected Rome with Brundisium and was built by the censor Appius Claudius in 312 BC. This road has been the paradigm for all subsequent Roman roads and with what was supposed to be its roadbed structure, hundreds of ancient roads have been identified throughout Europe as being Roman simply because they had thick stones or slabs on the surface.This video attempts to find out what was true about the fact that the Appian Way actually had slabs on the surface, which invalidated it as a road and which most likely never happened.
