Rome is not just a city with a congregation in the first century, nor just the name-giver of a Bible book, nor just the sixth Biblical World Power with prophecies of the King of the North fulfilled in its emperors. It's all of that and much more: If you understand Rome, you'll understand the first century and the background of Biblical events everywhere in the empire, including Israel, Asia Minor, and Greece.

The Appian Way, known as the "Queen of Roads," is more than just an ancient highway - it is a path that has shaped history, connecting cultures and civilizations. Its stones carried not only armies, merchants, and messengers but also ideas, beliefs, and political influence, impacting the world in ways that are still felt today.
This guide invites you to explore the first 10 km (6 mi) of the Appian Way, stretching from Rome’s ancient city entrance into the scenic countryside. Along the way, you'll encounter tombs, catacombs, villas, and other monuments, offering a glimpse into the rich social and cultural makeup of those who once traveled this road, lived here, or were laid to rest beside it.
Each stop is enriched with historical insights and Biblical connections, allowing you to retrace the footsteps of the Apostle Paul, who likely entered Rome along this very route as a prisoner to appeal to Caesar. It will also deepen your appreciation for the faith, endurance, and challenges faced by the first-century Roman Christians, as well as help you to recognize the gradual spiritual corruption of later Christendom, which eventually departed from the truth.

• Over 60 stops along the Appian Way and the Parco degli Acquedotti, each with detailed descriptions and in-depth research
• An additional 30 stops focusing on practical matters, including bike rental stations, bus stops, essential services, and recommended detailed cycling and walking routes
