THE APPIAN WAY.
II Wa. the Most Celebrated of An
cicnt Roman RondNyRy>.

BY far the most celebrated road in
the old world was the Appian way,
the Niarum Regina. or Queen of Roads,
which AT the period of its greatest eN.
tent stretched from Rome to Brundus.
ium. the modern Brindisi. distance
of $50 miles. As this road was begun
in the beginning of THE fourth century,
Il. C., says Parsons Weekly, and
formed the great highway from Rome
to the south for several centuries, it
must therefore have been connected
with and often been, the scene of most
of the great events of the Roman em-
pire, which for n long period would
deserve 10 be called the great events of
the world. 1t would have witnessed
the departure of the armies which set
forth to conquer the domain of Alex
auder and the rharaohs, Julius Caesar
passed along il TO the first Alexandrine
war, which was TO result in his own
temporary conquest by the charms OF
Cleopatra. Later on Mark Anthony
traverscd IL to lose the world for the
same woman. II witnessed. too. the
triumphs OF the returning generals
who had he'd the lcgious of Rome TO
the conquest of half the known world,
and over its well-worn pavements the
unhappy Zeuobia, perhaps the most
pathetic figure in history, was led 10
grace the triumphs of her conqueror.
Aurelian. But the pageants of which
the Appian way has been the scene
might be multiplied almost indefinite
ly. and it is certain that there is no
road in the ancient or modern world
to compare with it in this respect.
