North of Ariminium lies a low-lying area of salt marshes where seawater collects and evaporates, leaving salt deposits. These marshes are vital for salt production, which is then traded across the region. The salt industry supports the city’s economy and trade, making Ariminium a key supplier to inland cities that depend on it for preserving food and seasoning.
