O bordão cahira das mãos de Pedro ao solo; fixava a vista com pertinacia na frente; entre-abrira a bocca, e no rosto reflectia-se-lhe a estupefacção, a alegria, o arrobamento... Ajoelhou com as mãos estendidas. E dos labios sahiu-lhe o brado; - Christo! Christo!... Prostrou-se com a cabeça no chão, como se beijasse pés invisiveis. Durante muito tempo reinou absoluto silencio. Depois resoou a voz do velho entrecortada de soluços: - Quo vadis, Domine?... (...) - Visto abandonares o meu povo, vou a Roma... para que me crucifiquem outra vez. O Apostolo permanecia deitado no caminho, com o rosto no pó, sem fazer um gesto, nem dizer uma palavra. Nazario começava a pensar que Pedro perdera os sentidos, ou que expirara. Mas por fim levantou-se, agarrou com as mãos trémulas o cajado de romeiro, e, sem falar, voltou-se e contemplou as sete collinas. O rapazito repetiu então como um echo: - Quo vadis, Domine?... - A Roma, respondeu com doçura o Apostolo. E voltou para Roma.
Henryk Sienkiewicz (Quo Vadis)
To return to central Rome, it’s another two miles north along a busy stretch of road, not recommended on foot or bike. Instead, catch bus #118 from the bus stop about 75 yards past Domine Quo Vadis Church (across from the TI). Bus #118 makes several interesting stops (see below) on its way to the Piramide Metro stop. (Note that another bus, the #218, also goes from here to San Giovanni in Laterano.) For those with more energy, there’s more to see, especially if you’re renting a bike and want to just get away from it all. Other Sights on or near the Appian Way Consider these diversions if you have the time and interest. More of the Appian Way: Heading south (away from downtown Rome), past the Tomb of Cecilia Metella, you’ll find the best-preserved part of the Appian Way—quieter, less touristed, and lined with cypresses, pines, and crumbling tombs. It’s all downhill after the first few hundred yards. On a bike, you’ll travel over lots of rough paving stones (or dirt sidewalks) for about 30 minutes to reach a big pyramid-shaped ruin on its tiny base, and then five minutes more to the back side of the Villa dei Quintili.
