In common with many Italian rail routes there is a choice of services when making a journey by train from Rome/Roma to Ancona:
If the timings suit and you want the peace of mind of a reserved seat, take the Intercity (IC) trains.
Also because limited numbers of the cheaper 'Super Economy' tickets will be made available for the IC trains, if you book ahead, they can be money savers.
The RV trains are more frequent and you can book last minute at the station with the peace of mind that you won't have saved by booking in advance.
So if you buy tickets on the travel date, these RV trains become the cheapest option.
Though this isn't a high speed route, so the Intercity trains are only marginally faster.
When travelling between most cities by train there is only one logical option, though on other journeys there is a choice between different trains or alternative routes. If different options are available you can use the info to decide which is best for you.
