Postcard from Italy
The Via Appia, or Appian Way, is one of the earliest and strategically most important Roman roads of the ancient republic. It connected Rome to Brindisi, in southeast Italy. Its importance is indicated by its common name, recorded by Statius, of “Regina Viarum” (Queen of Roads). Built in 312 BCE by Appius Claudius Caecus. Today, it is a popular archaeological park and tourist destination, featuring well-preserved portions of the original basalt paving stones and numerous ancient tombs, villas, and catacombs.
That Harriet Tubman quote tugs at my heart. The Roman road is a thing of beauty even if not an ‘accessible’ one. There’s a great amount of detail in that Yorktown card. violet

I like all the Roman period related postcards, so the last one is my favourite of this post 🙂
The Sphinx looks always very mysterious to me!

I like the shine of centuries on the roman road. Tubman was a determined and brave woman.

All nice postcards. Here we are, still waiting for Harriet Tubman to get her long awaited $20 bill.
