Milepost at Start of Appian Way

Milepost at Start of Appian Way

‎Appius Claudius started building the Appian Way in 312 B.C. Paul reached it at Capua, 20 miles (32 km) from Puteoli. Traveling the 132 miles (212 km) from Capua to Rome normally took about six days. Some Roman Christians met Paul at the Three Taverns, 11 miles (18 km) from Rome on the Appian Way, others traveled 43 miles (69 km) to meet him at the Forum of Appius. To traverse the 19 miles (30.6 km) of Pontine Marshes before this Forum, Paul took the road or a parallel canal.
‎Jer 31:21, Matt 5:41, Luke 11:18, Luke 24:13, Acts 28:13–15

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
