Excerpt from Sixtine Rome
Just before the Via Appia turns sharply down wards, opposite a marble plate bearing the coat of arms of the Barberini Pope, Urbanus VIII, a pathway to the left leads to the majestic Porta Furba. Or, going down a certain distance on the Via Appia, the road leads through classic ground and, to the right, a mighty mass of brick marks the direction of the Via Latina.
