History
An ancient side road (diverticulum) connecting the Via Appia to ancient Bovillae was rediscovered in 2014 construction work in modern Frattocchie. A section of the road was conserved and can be visited beneath the McDonald's restaurant now occupying the site. Other remains of the road have been identified to the west.
