The Via Appia, Regina Viarium, was the consular road destined to link, in a faster way, Rome to the south of the peninsula. It was started in 312 BC by censor Appius Claudius, who spent all the public resources just on the first part.
Remarks about the translation
The Via Appia is also called The Appian Way in English. Regina Viarium is Latin for Queen of the Roads.
Hi Kafetzou:
I think it sounds better now, however I'm not sure about "Queen Viarium" .
It sounds better to me than "Queen of the roads", specially after the correction of Appius Claudius.
But...I know you'll choose the best option.
Actually, I guess that the problem is that there is Latin mixed in with the Italian, and I was wanting to translate that, too. I think probably the best thing is to leave the Latin in Latin and put a note in the comments box. Don't worry; I'll take care of it.
