What are the Three Taverns?
        THE THREE TAVERNS
        a place where some of the "brethren" came to meet Paul on his journey to Rome, and by their coming the apostle took fresh courage. Acts 28:13-15. It was on the Appian Way, 33 miles south-east from Rome, and 10 miles from Appii Forum. It was also at the junction of the road from Antium, and a great number of travellers passed through it. It may have taken its name from the three taverns or places of refreshment for travellers. But Luke docs not translate the Roman word, but simply transfers it into Greek as "Tres Tabernae." There are no remains of The Three Taverns by name at the present day, but the site may be placed near the modern Cisterna.
