    The decumanus of Aratria Galla, currently visible from Via Giulia Augusta, the entrance road to Aquileia that cuts through the Forum and follows the layout of the cardo maximus of the Roman city, was brought to light in the 1970s for a stretch of about one hundred meters.


    It connected the river port with the area of the forum and the theater in an east-west direction: the civil basilica overlooked it, the remains of which are visible in the archaeological area recently acquired by the Aquileia Foundation. The paving, still intact, was made of trachyte, a volcanic rock from the Euganean Hills. According to two twin inscriptions, attributed by some scholars to this road, the paving was an act of generosity by a woman, Aratria Galla, from whom the name conventionally assigned to the decumanus comes.

    With the construction of the zigzag walls, dating back to the 6th century, it remained in use, although outside the city walls.
