A way-station on the Appian Way south of Rome where Roman Christians traveled out to greet Paul on his way to imprisonment in the capital
ItalyThree Taverns appears once in Scripture as a way-station on the Appian Way south of Rome where the Christian community came out to greet Paul during his approach to imprisonment in the capital: "And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage" (Acts 28:15). The site lay about thirty-three miles south of Rome at the modern Cisterna di Latina, a recognized stop on the Roman highway. The two reception parties (the first further south at Forum of Appius) signaled the depth of the Roman church's anticipation of the apostle's arrival.
