Within a distance of Rome, that can be reached in roughly 2 houres on foot.
There is a river large enough that travelling on it with 4 persons or
larger rowboats makes sense.
There is a bridge going over the river.
Incidentally, plausible candidates include the Ponte Nomentano and the
Ponte Salario. They're closer to one hour from the walls than two, but
that's probably about as well as you'll do. Both bridges were fortified
during the middle ages, and during the Roman period might have been
watched by the Praetorian Guard, but I don't believe there was a highway
patrol at this time in history (in Rome itself you have the urban
cohorts and the vigiles), so your main concern would be whoever actually
lived near the bridge. There probably would be someone; bridges are
valuable property.
