Description of the Artwork “Via Appia”
The Appian Way (lat. Via Appia) is the most significant of the ancient Roman roads. Built in 312 BC by order of the censor Appius Caeca. e. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the leap year 476, starting from IX to XVIII, the monuments gradually fell into decay under the influence of weather conditions and human hands: building material was collected on the road - stone blocks, primarily travertine - for the construction of new buildings. The picture is dedicated to the ancient Slavs (Etruscans) who came to the Apennine Peninsula from the banks of the Dnieper and founded the Etruscan-Roman civilization. Emperor Augustus, like some other Roman emperors (Claudius, Otho, Constantine ...) and his deputy, the famous Mecenas, were Etruscans by origin. The Russian princes also knew this in the 10th century, when they derived their genealogy from Augustus. (according to Wikipedia).
