The Via Appia Southwards to Via Di Tor Carbone The Via Appia southwards to via di Tor Carbone Via Appia Antica The Appian Way up to via di Tor Carbone has a timeless feel, which still amazes visitors today as it did in the past. Southwards, after the Capo di Bove Complex, you come to one of the most evocative stretches of the ancient Roman road. The monuments lining this stretch of the road are the result of the restoration work carried out by the architect Luigi Canina, in the mid-19th century, commissioned by the papal POI Distance government, who created an “open-air museum”. Canina created walls near the ruined 21 2.23 Km monuments, incorporating fragments of sculptures, reliefs and inscriptions found littered in the countryside, forming an evocative and uninterrupted sequence of ancient remains, against the natural backdrop of centuries-old pine trees.

SEBASTIANO stop and then walk for 10 minutes. Poi 3 Tower Tomb Roma / Place to visit - Tombs This tower-shaped tomb, not far from the Capo di Bove complex, was probably a multi-storey tomb consisting of a concrete core incorporating fragments of precious Luni marble (which today is known as Carrara marble), the use of which material in Rome is attested from the mid- 1st century BC, which is the period in which this structure was built.The monument features a Address modern inscription referring to the trigonometric measurements carried out along the Via Appia Via Appia Antica, 222 - Roma in 1855, by the Jesuit scientist Angelo Secchi, an astronomer and the director of the (RM) Observatory of the Roman College.

  • Appius Claudius Caecus 'The Blind'
    Appius Claudius Caecus ‘The Blind’ Faber est quisquis suae fortunae (‘Every man is architect of his own fortune’) Appius Claudius Caecus came from the Claudian gens, a prime patrician family that could trace its ancestors as far back as the decemvirs who authored Rome’s first laws (the Twelve Tables) in the mid-fifth century BC. Although many Roman families could boast successful ancestors, Appius Claudius Caecus has the distinction of being one the first characters in Roman history for whom a substantial array of material evidence survives: a road, an aqueduct, a temple and at least one inscription. His character and his nickname Caecus, ‘The Blind’, are also explained in historical sources. Livy (History of Rome 9.29) claims he was struck down by the gods for giving responsibilities of worship to temple servants, rather than the traditional family members, at the Temple of Hercules. Perhaps a more credible explanation is offered by Diodorus Siculus (20.36), who suggests that Appius Claudius said he was blind and stayed at home to avoid reprisals from the Senate after his time in office. In that case, his name was clearly coined in jest, as is often the case with cognomen. Appius Claudius Caecus, whether or not he was actually blind, is an illuminating case study in the ways that varying types of evidence (literature, inscriptions and archaeology) can be used together to recreate history. His succession of offices, not quite the typical progression of the cursus honorum, records a man who enjoyed the epitome of a successful career in Roman politics (Slide 1).

That the family of the Octavii was of the first distinction in Velitrae [106], is rendered evident by many circumstances. For in the most frequented part of the town, there was, not long since, a street named the Octavian; and an altar was to be seen, consecrated to one Octavius, who being chosen general in a war with some neighbouring people, the enemy making a sudden attack, while he was sacrificing to Mars, he immediately snatched the entrails of the victim from off the fire, and offered them half raw upon the altar; after which, marching out to battle, he returned victorious.

  • The Appian Way 1 from Porta Capena to the Mausoleum of Caecilia Metella
    The Appian Way 1 from Porta Capena to the Mausoleum of Caecilia Metella (Miles I-III) - Inside the Walls By bike On foot This section of the Appian Way, called “the urban section” because it was part of the city in antiquity, starts from the central archaeological area, in front of the Circus Maximus and near the Baths of Caracalla. This is where the ancient Porta Capena (Capua Gate), the original departure point of the Appian Way and the Latin Way dating back to the Republican period, was located. The urban section ends at the Porta S. Sebastiano (St. Sebastian Gate), part of the walls built in the reign of the emperor Aurelian in the 3rd century AD. The monuments described along this section are currently not included in the Appia Antica Regional Park, which begins at Porta S. Sebastiano. Nevertheless, the monumental complex of the Appian Way represents a coherent context which must be described holistically beginning in the monumental center of Rome. 1) Porta Capena The Capua Gate was part of the earliest wall of Rome, called the “Servian Wall” because its construction was traditionally attributed to the sixth king of Rome, Servius Tullius, in the middle of the 6th century BC. The most recent studies confirm the existence of a wall circuit in cappellaccio tuff that can be associated chronologically with Servius Tullius, which was later restored and enlarged in the first half of the 4th century BC. The Appian and Latin Ways both started from this gate, which was located in front of the curved end of the Circus Maximus, and then separated in the area of the large square currently dedicated to Numa Pompilius.

  • Trajan's Forum (Hemicycle) and the Via Biberatica (Trajan's Markets): an Hhpxrf Study of the Provenance of Lava Paving I
    bs_bs_banner Archaeometry 60, 6 (2018) 1202–1220 doi: 10.1111/arcm.12374 TRAJAN’ S FORUM (HEMICYCLE) AND THE VIA BIBERATICA (TRAJAN’ S MARKETS): AN HHPXRF STUDY OF THE PROVENANCE OF LAVA PAVING IN ANCIENT ROME (ITALY)* M. A. WORTHING,1 R. LAURENCE2† and L. BOSWORTH1 1Department of Classical and Archaeological Studies, Marlowe Building, University of Kent, Canterbury CT2 7NR, UK 2Department of Ancient History, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia This paper reports on geochemical data collected using a He-enabled handheld portable XRF (HHpXRF) from lava paving stones in Trajan’s Forum (Hemicycle) and the Via Biberatica (Rome). Issues relating to HHpXRF field use and calibration are also addressed in detail. By means of this instrument, 355 analyses of the paving stones were collected and the data were processed using the standard techniques of igneous petrology and petrography. Provenancing was based on comparisons between the HHpXRF data and geological data from the abundant literature on Roman volcanic rocks. These comparisons placed the provenance of the paving stones in the Colli Albani, south-east of Rome. Further analysis using Zr/Y versus Nb/Y discriminant diagrams suggests that the paving stones were quarried from two sources, both of which are represented in Trajan’s Forum and the Via Biberatica. The diagrams suggest that the sources lie within the Faete and Vallerano lava complexes. The latter were probably transported to the construction site by barge on the River Tiber and the former were easily accessible by carts along the Via Appia. The study establishes the potential of HHpXRF equipment for non-destructive analysis of paving stones both in Rome and at other sites in central Italy, and challenges a number of assumptions about the supply of building materials to Rome based on intuition alone.
