It left the city of Rome through the Porta Latina and ran about 147 Roman miles (218 km) to the southeast through the territory of the Latins via the cities of Anagni , Ferentinum and Frosinone to Capua . There was a connection to the Via Appia. The Via Appia was built in 312 BC. BC as a faster connection parallel to the Via Latina. There are some Roman ruins along Via Latina, including the restored Temple of the Valerians and the magnificent temple of the Barberini. At the third milestone of Via Latina are the uncovered foundations and some columns of the Basilica Santo Stefano in Via Latina from the 5th century.
The Via Latina is now called Via Casilina (SS 6) part of the Italian long-distance traffic network.
