In the passage below, the historian Titus Livius (59 BC – 17 AD) notes Appius Claudius, the censor recorded for posterity in the names of the aqueduct he had built, the first serving Rome, and the famous road to Brindisi.
Livy 9.29.5-7: “The censorship of Appius Claudius and Caius Plautius, for this year, was remarkable; but the name of Appius has been handed down with more celebrity to posterity, on account of his having made the road [called after him], and for having conveyed water to the city. These works he performed alone…” (from the translation by Spillan and Evans).
