Drie Kroeë
Beskrywing
TAVERNE, DRIE
taverns: Drie Taverne (Latyn Tres Tabernae, Grieks getranslitereer as treis tabernai; Cicero Ad Att. i.13; ii.12, 13) was 'n stasie op die Appiese Weg by die 33ste mylpaal (301/3 Engelse myl van Rome), volgens die Itineraries van die Romeinse Ryk (Itin. Ant. vii; Tab. Peut.; Geogr. Rav. iv.34), 'n samevloeiingspunt van verkeer by die kruising van 'n pad van Antium na Norba. Tripontium, 6 myl verder op die Appiese Weg in die rigting van Appii Forum, is gereken as die punt waar die hoofweg die streek van die Pontiese moerasse binnegegaan het, die mees opvallende natuurlike kenmerk van hierdie deel van Italië.
Partye van die Christelike broeders in Rome het uitgegaan om die apostel Paulus te groet toe nuus gebring is dat hy by Puteoli aangekom het, een groep het so ver as Appii Forum gegaan, terwyl 'n ander sy koms by Drie Taverne afgewag het [Hand 28:15 ].

Taverns, The three
a place on the great "Appian Way," about 11 miles from Rome, designed for the reception of travellers, as the name indicates. Here Paul, on his way to Rome, was met by a band of Roman Christians (Acts 28:15). The "Tres Tabernae was the first mansio or mutatio, that is, halting-place for relays, from Rome, or the last on the way to the city. At this point three roads run into the Via Appia, that from Tusculum, that from Alba Longa, and that from Antium; so necessarily here would be a halting-place, which took its name from the three shops there, the general store, the blacksmith's, and the refreshment-house...Tres Tabernae is translated as Three Taverns, but it more correctly means three shops" (Forbes's Footsteps of St. Paul, p.20).
