Context: The Forum of Appius, or Ἀππίου Φόρον, was a significant stop along the Appian Way, an ancient Roman road that connected Rome to the southern parts of Italy. This forum was approximately 43 miles (69 kilometers) from Rome and served as a bustling marketplace and rest stop for travelers. It is mentioned in the New Testament in Acts 28:15, where it is recorded that believers from Rome traveled to meet Paul as he made his way to the city under Roman custody. The passage highlights the early Christian community's support and encouragement for Paul, demonstrating the strong bonds of fellowship among the believers. The Forum of Appius was known for its vibrant activity and was a key location for commerce and social interaction in the Roman Empire.
