There have been numerous posts about Roman roads. Here is a short video summary about the construction of the via Appia.

The Via Appia, often called the Regina Viarum—the “queen of roads”—was one of ancient Rome’s most important arterial routes, built in 312 BCE under the censor Appius Claudius Caecus to link the capital with southern Italy and ultimately the port of Brundisium, giving Rome a strategic military corridor and a commercial lifeline that shaped its expansion.
