Ancient Rome - Third Samnite War 298 bce

Ravenna was an important city in the northern Adriatic, originally a settlement of the Umbrians before coming under Roman control. It had a well-protected harbor and became a significant military and commercial port during the Roman Empire, crucial for controlling trade and military movements between Italy and the eastern Mediterranean.

A bustling harbor city with fortified stone walls, busy docks filled with merchant ships, and the flowing waters of the Po River glistening in the sun, under a clear blue sky.
