Filmed with state-of-the-art professional television cameras and camera stabilization equipment,
the camera seems to float as it carries you over the same paving stones
that Roman legions walked over two millennia ago.

upbeat music suitable for a good cardio workout on your treadmill, or you may choose to hear

A Description of the Walk
Your walk begins in a residential area on the northern outskirts of Rome.
You will pass upscale homes that recall the patrician villas once lining the Via Appia.
The Via Appia Antica narrows and you see the original basalt stones
which have witnessed over two thousand years of history.
Soon you almost feel a part of ancient history, as you walk between stately cypress trees
which are so much a trademark of the Roman countryside.
The quiet pastoral setting of this fabled road captivates you
as you imagine the lives of those who have walked these stones before you.
And, as you conjure up those ancient Romans, you soon pass the marble monuments
depicting some of the very families whose estates were built on the Appian Way.
In a sense, you feel that they remain here on this road to greet you - the modern day walker.
The DVD even includes a "Mini-Documentary" that explains the history of the Appian Way.
You'll enjoy this 30 minute walk either with the lively, upbeat music
