- 0All the places of this walk, are described here in the description:
On the last day of September, I came to the Appian Way. The sunrise was out of the blue.
Lined with cypresses and pines as it was when the ancient Romans came here by torchlight to bury their dead, the Via Appia is wonderfully atmospheric. The fields are strewn with ruined tombs set against the picturesque background of the Alban hills to the south. Although the marble or travertine stone facings of most tombs have been plundered, a few statues and reliefs survive or have been replaced by copies.
In this walk you can see:
0:46 Villa di Massenzio. The enormous 4th- century palace complex Rome’s best-preserved ancient racetrack - you can still make out the starting stalls used for chariot races. The 10,000-seat arena was built by Maxentius around 309, but he died before ever seeing a race here!
5:23 Mausoleo di Cecilia Metella. Dating to the 1st century BC, this great drum of a mausoleum encloses a burial chamber, now roofless. In the 14th century it was converted into a fort by the Caetani family, who were related to Pope Boniface VIII and used to frighten passing traffic into paying a toll.
6:04 The ruined Gothic church of San Nicola, which, like the Tomb of Cecilia Metella, was part of the medieval fortress of the Caetani family.
8:17 Many original Roman paving slabs, huge blocks of extremely durable volcanic basalt.
15:09 Remains of the medieval towers that were built over some tombs.
29:35 Tomb with a relief of a man, naked except for a short cape, known as the Heroic Relief.
30:52 Ruins of the Tomb of Marcus Servilius, showing fragments of reliefs excavated in 1808 by the Neo-Classical sculptor Antonio Canova. He was one of the first to work on the principle that excavated tombs and their inscriptions and reliefs should be allowed to remain in situ.
32:08 Tomb of Seneca. The great moralist Seneca owned a villa near here, where he committed suicide in AD 65 on the orders of Nero.
39:05 Tomb of the family of Sixtus Pompeus the Righteous, a freed slave of the 1st century AD 9. The verse inscription records the father’s sadness at having to bury his own children, who died young.
41:11 Tomb of Caius Licinius
41:26 Small Doric tomb
42:21 The imposing Tomb of Hilarius Fuscus, with five portrait busts in relief of members of his family.
44:11 Tomb of Tiberio Claudio Secondino
44:51 Tomb of Quinto Apuleio
47:01 Tomb of the Rabirii, freed slaves (1st century BC). The figure on the right is a priestess of Isis. Behind her you can see the outline of a sistrum, the metal rattle used at ceremonies of the cult.
48:56 Tomb of the Festoons, with its reconstructed frieze of festive putti.
49:06 Tomb of the Frontispiece, which has a copy of a relief with four portraits.
The two central figures are holding hands.
50:11 When you reach Via di Tor Carbone, the Via Appia still stretches out ahead of you in a straight line and, if you wish to extend your walk, there are many more tombs and ruined villas to visit along the way.
Tips for Walkers
Starting point: Tomb of Cecilia Metella.
Length: 2 miles (3 km).
Getting there: Reach the tomb by taxi, or take the Archeobus, the 118 from Piazzale Ostiense, or the 660 from Colli Albani on Metro Line A.
Best time: On Sunday, when the road is closed to traffic. Go fairly early, before it gets too hot.
Stopping points: There is a bar on the corner of Via Metella and a pleasant picnic area on the grounds of a thermal complex just beyond Vicolo di Tor Carbone. There are also several restaurants on the first stretch of the Appia, including the Cecilia Metella, Via Appia Antica 129, (closed Mon).

Wowwwwww....this is just 2 miles???? So many tombs...so much history in two miles ??? Thats is why ILOVEROME!!! Greetings from NYC!!!
more than 2 miles, from gates its more than 7 miles. One of the best experiences of my life. I wish to walk it one time more. Its like walking The Yellow brick road from a kids book.
This was very relaxing. Thank you!
I wish I could experience Rome's quietness in person too
Splendido video dedicato all'Ampia in uno dei momenti più belli della giornata!
I was so fortunate to have lived in Italy, and live amongst the beautiful people! So, generous/friendly and the food Mama Mia!!....now as an older man, I have the memories, Grazie Italia!!!
This was the best walk of via Appiah with so much valuable information and tips! Thanks a lot!
I had a wonderful walk on Via Appia Antica one week later. Watching your video makes me feel as I was there again. What a peaceful place!
Thank you for getting up early to make this.
It's a pleasure to watch with no silly blathering from a young couple with music in the background that has no connection to the setting.
Someday I will ride a bike here.
La ringrazio.
Ciao! Wow, stupendissimo! Non ci sono parole (io sono senza parole)! Grazie mille per la condivisione. Mi piace moltissimo. Buona domenica e cordiali saluti dalla Carolina del Nord negli Stati Uniti. 👍👏🤝
Amazing walk! I can feel the history of Rome 👏👏
Great Sunrise Video! Love to watch this :) Really great old town!
Rome sun rise on historical path...Wonderful video💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
wunderbar, ich mache das im Oktober wenn ich in Rom bin, danke
Procuro há muitos anos pelo local de uma gravura que meu bisavô trouxe para o Brasil com a familia dele, minha bisa, meu avô materno que era o caçula nessa ocasião e seus três outros filhos. Todos nascido em Civitta de Bagnoreggio, meu bisnono nasceu em Castiglione del Lago e o irmão mais velho, em San Micheli in Teverina, todos no Lazio.
Essa gravura sempre me encantou desde criança, quando meu avô Giuseppe Capecchi faleceu , minha tia me deu e está comigo até hoje. Meus bisavós chegaram ao Brasil em 1906 e meu bisavô ja tinha essa gravura em sua casa na Itália. Então essa gravura tem certamente mais de 120 anos. Grazie 🙏❤
And did you see where the engraving was took from in the video
Very nice. I did this sort of thing when I went to Greece. Took a walk from Phaistos, on the island of Crete, to Aghia Triada. A lovely quiet walk.
I will never be there in person, thank you for sharing this historic place.
Yes you will and I known you will because it’s not impossible
I love rome!
Amazing
Going back to Rome next Fall. How would I get to the starting point of the hike from, say, the Forum/Wedding Cake area?
Beautiful video. Thank you. I'd like to ask for some help/advice. I'm going to Rome in Mid May of this year, 2023. I want to walk the Appian Way, and exactly this same length. However, I want to walk it in the reverse, i.e. from the Via di Tor Carbone back towards Rome center. I'd like to take a taxi or Uber from around Termini Station to the end (my starting) point. For a taxi driver, it's not that much different a trip than the trip to Ciampino Airport. Does that make sense? Any tips/advice? My plan is for a Sunday, but I can change.
Ciao Bill you’re right! It’s just a 30 minute ride from termini. For the price I think 30-40€.
@Rome Walking Tours Excellent. Thanks so much. I'll arrive several days before Sunday, so I'll ask a random taxi driver if it can be done.
