EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Appian Way in Rome, Italy, with the ancient Tomb of Caecilia Metella standing proudly in the distance. The Appian Way, or Via Appia as it is known locally, is an iconic ancient Roman road that stretches over 300 miles from the heart of Rome to the port of Brindisi. Built in 312 BC, it was once the primary means of transportation between Rome and the southern regions of Italy. In the foreground of the image, the winding road winds its way through the picturesque Italian countryside, lined with trees and dotted with quaint stone houses. The Tomb of Caecilia Metella, a mausoleum built in honor of Caecilia Metella, the daughter of Quintus Caecilius Metellus Creticus, who served as Consul in 69 BC, stands majestically atop a hill in the background. The tomb, with its distinctive cylindrical shape and intricate decorative elements, is a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of ancient Roman architecture. However, this historic site holds a darker past. In the Middle Ages, the Tomb of Caecilia Metella became a headquarters for papal-endorsed highway robbery. Bandits, with the blessing of the Church, would prey on unsuspecting travelers along the Appian Way, using the tomb as their base of operations. Despite this unsavory history, the Tomb of Caecilia Metella remains a popular tourist destination and a powerful reminder of Rome's rich and complex history.
