La città di Aquileia si sviluppò velocemente come centro emporiale, portuale e militare, divenendo con Augusto la capitale della X Regio Venetia et Histria, che andava dall’attuale Lombardia alla Slovenia, e costituendo la base di partenza per la successiva espansione romana nelle terre danubiane e balcaniche. Punto nevralgico per trasporti e comunicazioni, la regione fu dotata di una ricca rete di vie di collegamento tra le principali arterie dell’Italia e i territori di oltralpe. L’organizzazione agraria e insediativa del territorio, con la centuriazione e la distribuzione delle terre ai coloni – solitamente veterani accompagnati dalle famiglie e dagli schiavi – sviluppò l’economia della regione e ne accrebbe di molto la ricchezza. | Translation - English
The city of Aquileia rapidly developed into a commercial centre, port, and military base. Under Augustus it became the capital of X Regio Venetia et Histria (the 10th Roman Region), an area which stretched from Lombardy to Slovenia, and provided the starting point for subsequent Roman expansion into the Danubian lands and the Balkans. A major transport and communications hub, the region benefited from an extensive network of roads connecting the main routes between Italy and the transalpine territories. The agrarian and residential organization of the territory, which was divided according to the centuriation system with plots being allocated to coliniae - colonies or settlements which usually consisted of veteran legionnaires, their families and their slaves – promoted economic growth and brought great prosperity to the region. |
