Awe at the beautiful view of the Palatine Hill and Imperial Villas across the way, and then zip your way to the Baths of Caracalla, the second largest thermal baths of all of Rome. Continue your ride and hop on Via Appia Antica, one of the lifelines of the Roman Empire, an impressive road built in 312 BC that extended all the way to the South of Italy.
