Via Agrippa

The Via Agrippa was an ancient Roman road built in the early 1st century BCE, designed to connect important cities in Italy, especially from Rome to the port of Brundisium (modern Brindisi). Named after Agrippa, a key Roman statesman and general, it facilitated efficient movement of armies, trade, and communication across the empire. Known for its straightness and durability, the Via Agrippa was a vital infrastructure that helped Rome maintain control over its territories and supported economic growth by enabling smoother regional connectivity.
