Ancient Rome - Third Samnite War 298 bce

Situated along the Volturno River, this modest port area contains docks, storage buildings, and riverboats used to transport goods between Capua and other settlements along the river. The river port is vital for the movement of goods such as grain, olive oil, and pottery, providing a direct connection between Capua’s fertile agricultural lands and distant trade centers. It also serves as a point for military logistics.

A bustling river port with wooden docks stretching into the Volturno River, riverboats bobbing gently in the water stacked high with cargo, and storage buildings constructed from sun-baked clay, all under a bright blue sky scattered with fluffy white clouds.
