About the Background Made by QuiltCrazy Aquileia Aquileia Founded in 181 BC by the Romans, this strategic ancient outpost had as many as 100,000 inhabitants. Considered northern Italy's most important archeological site, it features a circus, forum, and cemetery. To reach the ancient river port, walk along the cypress-lined Via degli Scavi del Porto Fluviale. The basilica, while more recent, has an astounding 700-square-yard mosaic floor.
