Padua during the Roman Age

This trail takes shape from the existing Roman remains of the city. Padua was the seat of a rich and vital Veneto village, founded in the wide Brenta (Meduacus) river hook (which flowed in the Bacchiglione watercourse) and it was also the homeland of Tito Livio, Gaio Valerio Flacco, Quinto Asconio Pediano, Trasea Peto. During the Roman age the city enjoyed a phase of development and many monuments had been built at that time: unfortunately only a few left, as the anfitheater and ponte S. Lorenzo. A little part of the Roman city (a road with buildings on both sides) can be visited at the Banca Antonveneta archeological site. This trail also leads to most significant manufactures of the Roman artistic culture (mosaics, statues, funeral steles, ceramics and glasses) which came to the surface partly in Padua and partly nearby the city and which are shown at Museo Civico Archeologico at the Eremitani, at Museo di Scienze Archeologiche e d’Arte di Liviano.
