The Appian Way

Every month the University of Chicago Press offers a free downloadable e-book from its collection.

This month, the free e-book is The Appian Way by Robert A. Kaster, a guide to the ancient via Appia, to the ghost of the road that has virtually disappeared under two millennia of use and neglect, steeped in history from the slave revolt of Spartacus to Jewish catacombs and great cathedrals.

Kaster includes practical information for making a journey along the Appian Way. Whether you are traveling to Rome or traveling from an armchair, this is the guide you will want at hand.

“A wonderful preface for any traveler planning an outdoorsy day in Rome or, especially, a trip through southern Italy. Kaster’s enthusiasm for the road and the people (past and present) who populate it is contagious.”— Library Journal

The book is also available in our library collection. So if you are not a fan of e-books, you can still read this amazing book!
