Morning light sifts through umbrella pines as a street-legal golf cart eases onto the Appian Way’s two-thousand-year-old cobbles. You pass the hulking skeleton of the Baths of Caracalla, slow beneath a defensive tower, and coast past the round silhouette of the Tomb of Caecilia Metella. The cart’s quiet whirr gives you time to look—stone cut, inscriptions, faint cart ruts—while a guide layers in dates and context.
