Appian Way (Via Appia Antica)The Appian Way is one of the earliest and strategically most important Roman roads of the ancient republic. It connected Rome to Brindisi, in southeast Italy.
-
Catacombe di San CallistoThe Christian catacombs are extremely important for the art history of Early Christian art, as they contain the great majority of examples from before about 400 AD, in fresco and sculpture, as well as gold glass medallions (these, like most bodies, have been removed).
-
Chiesa del Domine Quo VadisA Sacred Landmark on the Appian Way The Chiesa del Domine Quo Vadis, also known as the Church of St. Mary in Palmis, is a small but historically significant church located on the famous Appian Way in Rome. This unassuming site holds great spiritual and historical value, connecting visitors to early Christian traditions and the legacy of Saint Peter. Highlights: The Legend of Saint Peter: The church is named after the phrase "Domine, quo vadis?" ("Lord, where are you going?"), which, according to tradition, Saint Peter asked Jesus as he fled Rome to escape persecution. Jesus' response inspired Peter to return to the city and accept his martyrdom. The Footprints of Christ: Inside the church, visitors can see a marble slab with imprints believed to represent the footprints of Christ, commemorating the legendary encounter.
- An Ancient Imperial Complex on the Appian Way The Villa di Massenzio, also known as the Villa of Maxentius, is a remarkable archaeological site located along the Appian Way in Rome. Built in the early 4th century AD, it was part of an imperial complex commissioned by Emperor Maxentius, a rival of Constantine the Great. The site combines historical intrigue, architectural innovation, and serene surroundings, making it a hidden gem for history enthusiasts. The best-preserved Roman circus after the Circus Maximus, this massive structure was used for chariot races and could hold up to 10,000 spectators. Named after Maxentius’ son, Valerius Romulus, this mausoleum served as a grand tomb for the young prince. Its circular structure reflects the architectural style of imperial burial sites. Though only fragments remain, the villa was likely the emperor’s residence, offering a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of Roman elites. (pass by)
