Aquileia, Fondo Pasqualis, Italy
IV century A.D.

The area was investigated in the 50’s by Giovanni Brusin, who found trading and military complexes. The former consist of open-air spaces paved with sandstone and reused materials, surrounded by wide wooden supports used for trading activities. These complexes most likely date to the late imperial era. The military complexes show some sections of the double defensive curtain walls built to protect the southern side of the town. The first ring can be dated to th 4th century AD, while the outer wall, doubling the interior wall, was built in the 5th century AD.
