Editing Appian Way (section)

=== Along the coast ===
The Via Appia picked up the coastal road at [[Terracina|Tarracina]]  (Terracina). However, the Romans straightened it somewhat with cuttings, which form cliffs today. From there the road swerved north to Capua, where, for the time being, it ended. The [[Caudine Forks]] were not far to the north. The itinerary was [[Ariccia|Aricia]] (Ariccia), [[Three Taverns|Tres Tabernae]], [[Forum Appii]], Tarracina, [[Fondi, Italy|Fundi]] (Fondi), [[Formiae]] (Formia), [[Minturnae]] (Minturno), [[Suessa Pometia|Suessa]], [[Casilinum]] and Capua, but some of these were colonies added after the Samnite Wars. The distance was {{convert|132|mi|km|sp=us|order=flip|}}. The original road had no milestones, as they were not yet in use. A few survive from later times, including a first milestone near the Porta Appia.
