Ancient Rome - Third Samnite War 298 bce

A bustling port on the Bacchiglione River, facilitating trade routes that connected Patavium to other Italic and Adriatic cultures. This river port is vital for transporting goods such as horses, textiles, and agricultural products, contributing significantly to the economic strength of the Veneti. While it remains far from the actual conflict of the Third Samnite War, its role in trade highlights the Veneti's importance and ability to maintain neutrality while thriving.

A vibrant scene at the river port with colorful boats moored along wooden docks, bustling merchants shouting their wares, and traders unloading crates filled with textiles and produce, contrasted against the serene flow of the Bacchiglione River under a clear blue sky.
