The Amber Road

aqu_amber_road

Long before the Roman legions formalized it, the route that carried Baltic amber from the northern seas down to the Adriatic ran through our territory, making Aquileia one of the great entrepôts of the ancient world and establishing trade habits that outlasted the empire which later paved the road. We revive and invest in this corridor, improving the roads and staging posts that connect our city to the Alpine passes and the trading networks beyond them, ensuring that our merchants can reach markets to the north with greater efficiency than any rival route. This control over the Amber Road multiplies our diplomatic reach and makes our trading lanes the preferred route for goods moving between the Adriatic and central Europe.
