Emona on the Aquileia Road, 200
This is Emona at its height as a compact Roman colonia on the route from Aquileia to the Danube, a walled grid of insulae, a forum and riverside trade. The walk follows the main gates and streets, timber quays on the Ljubljanica, suburbs of potters and kilns, and finishes on Castle Hill with marsh and Alpine ridges beyond.
35 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 13 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Ljubljana as it stood in AD 200 (“Emona”).
