Note 4 at Acts 28:15: Appii forum was a small town which was not much more than a travelers stop located about forty miles south of Rome on the famous Appian Way. Horace wrote of Appii forum saying it was an unsavory place crammed with boatmen, innkeepers, and wayfarers, who cheat, carouse, and quarrel. This is one of the places that the Roman Christians came to meet Paul as he journeyed toward Rome.

Note 5 at Acts 28:15: Three taverns was a small stop on the Appian Way located about thirty miles south of Rome and ten miles north of Appii forum (see note 4 at this verse). Christians from Rome meet Paul there as he traveled toward Rome.
