| Aquileia was founded as a colony by the Romans in 180/181xc2xa0BC along the Natiso River, on land south of the Julian Alps but about 13 kilometres (8xc2xa0mi) north of the lagoons. | WIKI |
| The colony served as a strategic frontier fortress at the north-east corner of transpadane Italy (on the far side of the Po river) and was intended to protect the Veneti, faithful allies of Rome during the invasion of Hannibal in the Second Punic War and during the Illyrian Wars. | WIKI |
| The colony would serve as a citadel to check the advance into Cisalpine Gaul of other warlike peoples, such as the hostile Carni to the northeast in what is now Carnia and Histri tribes to the southeast in what is now Istria. | WIKI |
| The colony was established with Latin Rights by the triumvirate of Publius Cornelius Scipio Nasica, Caius Flaminius, and Lucius Manlius Acidinus, two of whom were of consular and one of praetorian rank. | WIKI |
| [vague] Meanwhile, based on the evidence of names chiselled on stone, the majority of colonizing families came from Picenum, Samnium, and Campania, which also explains why the colony was Latin and not Roman. | WIKI |
| [11] The discovery of the gold fields near the modern Klagenfurt in 130xc2xa0BC[12] brought the growing colony into further notice, and it soon became a place of importance, not only owing to its strategic military position, but as a centre of commerce, especially in agricultural products and viticulture. | WIKI |
| In 90xc2xa0BC, the original Latin colony became a municipium and its citizens were ascribed to the Roman tribe Velina. | WIKI |
| Today, Aquileia is a town smaller than the colony first founded by Rome. | WIKI |
