Via

The Via Appia, looking from Rome out through the Porta Appia to the wide world beyond.I imagined embarking on a journey along this road.  Heading south, toward the Mediterranean.  Boarding a ship for the Levantine.  Crossing the Silk Road as it spans Asia, through the Hexi Corridor, on to Xi’an.   Hard to imagine this road lined with the crucifixes of Spartacus and his army.
The villas and landscapes are either side of the road are breathtaking.
