"..Of all the roads that led to Rome, the Appian Way was the most famous and the most strategically important road in ancient Rome. It eventually stretched all the way from Rome to the seaport of Brindisi in southeast Italy, through which trade with the East was funneled.
The main purpose of the road was however not to transport goods, but to allow for quick troop movement. The Appian Way was the first road built specifically for troop transportation."
