Again a very educational video and so glad to see some site where tourists just don't come to often. I am taking this in and one day gonna retrace your steps. When you know where to look, history is just around the corner.. reminds of a quote from Spartacus " what lies beneath your feet ", well the pavement of the via appia antica for sure.
Thank you! Yes the places we showed are all accessible - some take a little more effort (tombs of Galba and Cicero). Enjoy exploring!
Amazing, thanks for your time Sir. Greetings from Turkey.
Thank you. We plan to do a road trip in Turkey!
Come walk some of our Aboringal song lines in Australia.40 thousand year old.
That would be fun! But we're stuck in Rome!
A nice historical walk-through, indeed.
Thank you! We are half way down through our journey! Stay tuned!
Wow🥰😍
Most don't know what we see is not the old Roman road, it used to be flat with more layers. Good video thanks.
Many thanks. It's a great route to explore. We're not even 1/2 way there. Should release the next 4 over the next 2 months. Stay tuned!
I love these videos. Living history. One of the most ancient parking lots in the history of humanity. Too funny.
thank you. Yes, Darius cracked up on that one!
Great!
Love your videos, it makes me wanna go back to Italy and get a better look on things, I'm 23 and my first trip was ten years ago in Rome, when I fell in love with the roman era ! 😊
thank you - please go back and watch the ones you might have missed. Like the Museum series. You will see a real uptick in quality since November 2022. We are really on a roll... Be sure to suggest topics on our community page! Yes, sounds like it's time to return to Rome.
If there is one place you need to see in Italy, it is Pompeii. That is just my personal opinion, but if you are into ancient history it is a must-see.
You're a great teacher!
Thank you! 😃
Thank you so much Darius for this video. I am completely fascinated! I live in the USA and my dream is to one day travel this road and see all this in person. Thank God for youtube.
We are so happy to share the adventures!
This makes me want to do the walk myself.
Plan your trip !
I walked a small section in Rome in the park, would love to walk more in future, luckily we have Roman stuff in the UK, unluckily most of it has washed away in our rainy climate!
We have many more stops along the way - stay tuned for more!😊
great content! Thank you! Really enjoying your vids.
Glad you like them!
Darius, Thank you for your videos. I have learned so much from you. I LIKE and SHARE everyone of them.
Thank you! It's a team effort!
Thanks. But, I would have liked to see some video of that theater in Minturnae..... possibly in the future.
Absolutely. No time to cover all of the cities along the Via Appia. Minturnae deserves its own video!
very educational video
thank you!
Such amazing locales and history, thank you for sharing these videos. Your series really are second to none.
Music to our ears! We are doing our best to share our first rate content - though it’s hard to break through. Please share!
Thank you so much for such fantastic video 🙏✨
Thank you! Please share!
Loving these videos
Thank you! More on the way!
I would love to walk this old Roman road
It's waiting for you!
👏
Ciao!
Excellent Darius! As always, great content. May I suggest adding some information about the composition of the road. It seems a road with huge rocks would not be ideal for travel with a wagon or chariot. But I'm sure there is more to the road from a composition perspective that most of us viewers don't understand .
Great suggestion! We cover some of that on episode 1. Did you see all the previous Appia episodes?
Embarrassingly, no. I need to go do that. Thank you!
@@michaelramsey8218 Enjoy! We've only gotten to Minturnae... coming up: Capua, Beneventum, and then 2 routes to Brindisi.
👌
Thanks 👊
❤
Grazie!
It's never going to happen, but would it not be amazing to discover a grave of a Roman soldier where all clothing and armor and weapons are perfectly preserved?
Hard for all of that to be perfectly preserved. Would have to be from the Egyptian desert or the anaerobic conditions of sites like www.vindolanda.com
we come to watch a video claiming to be a walk along the ancient Roman road yet, all we see is the host's face. no one came to look at him talk. and it turns out this video isn't about walking down the road but, is in fact, an advertisement about Italy. not what I came to watch at all
