History+

Aquileia was founded in 181 BC as a military colony by 3,000 veterans after a Celtic advance was repelled. Its location on the Natissa River made it a transport hub and the terminus of the Amber Road, which brought amber from the Baltic Sea to Italy. Aquileia developed into a trading metropolis, known for its glass industry, iron smelting, and amphora production.
