Flavius Victor, c. 387 - 28 July 388 A.D.
|Flavius| |Victor|, |Flavius| |Victor,| |c.| |387| |-| |28| |July| |388| |A.D.|, "AQUILEIA (Italy - 45°47'N, 13°22'E) is seven miles from the Adriatic Sea via the Natisone Canal, formerly the Natiso River. Rome founded it in 181 BC as a customs station, outpost, and gold mining center. Two important highways converged on it, Via Annia and Via Postumia, and most east-west traffic passed through it. It was in Cisalpine Gaul, which merged into Italy in 42 BC. Known as 'Roma Secunda', it grew to nearly 100,000 people. An imperial mint, opened in 294, operated until about 430. Attila the Hun destroyed the city, the ninth largest in the Roman Empire, in 452 and it never recovered." - Moneta Historical Research by Tom Schroer
