=== Main branches === Since the latter stretch of the Appian Way turned out to be very impervious, some branches were created: first the {{ill|Via Aemilia in Hirpinis|it|lt=Via Aemilia}}, then the {{ill|Via Minucia|it}}, finally the emperor [[Trajan]] built the [[Via Traiana]], a branch of the Via Appia from Beneventum, reaching Brundisium via [[Canosa di Puglia|Canusium]] and [[Bari]]um rather than via Tarentum. This was commemorated by an arch at Beneventum. Travellers could cross the [[Adriatic Sea]] through the [[Strait of Otranto|Otranto Strait]] towards [[Albania]] either by landing at present day [[Durrës]] through the [[Via Egnatia]] or near the ancient town of [[Apollonia (Illyria)|Apollonia]] and continue towards present day [[Rrogozhinë]] in central Albania.<ref>{{Cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=haFlGXIg8uoC&q=via+appia+albania&pg=PA471 |title = Historical Dictionary of Albania|isbn = 978-0-8108-7380-3|last1 = Elsie|first1 = Robert|date = 2010| publisher=Scarecrow Press }}</ref>
