Another day in Rome and this time on E-bikes to go south to the Ancient Appian Way. We bike for about 17 miles.
We have stops along the way to visit interesting historical sites. One is a part of the ancient Roman walls. We were able to climb to the top for some great views.
We travel along the Ancient Appian Way with a good part of it still intact. It was very hard to bike, though. This is a road built by the Romans in 312 BC.
Because the Roman’s could not bury inside the walls, many catacombs line the road. We visited the Catacombs of San Sebastián. It is a huge labyrinth of tomb sites. No photos were allowed.
A highlight on the ride was our tour around the park that has remains of the old Roman aqueduct.
It was a long tiring but enjoyable day. On our walk to and from our tour meeting place we just had to walk around the Colosseum.

What a grand adventure you are having and so very deeply moving as you must see the hand of God in so many details of history. The beauty of the architecture is quite astounding. It always amazes me that even now, so much is still standing.
Brent and I were able to go into some of those catacombs and walk part of the Appian way. I imagine in some ways, walking would be easier than biking. We too were touched by seeing a bit of that ancient history and the sobering reminders of the martyrs.
