i expected the Appian Way to be a picturesque inconvenience... instead, after an hour on the stones, my boots had split at the heel and the bus stop was nowhere near where the map promised.
I paid for a taxi back into Rome, plus a new pair of boots the next morning. If you walk it, bring water, better directions, and shoes meant for roads built before mercy was invented...
