ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to analyse the commerce-related structures at the city of Aquileia on the Adriatic coast of Italy: in fact, the town forms an important and interesting example for the study of urban commercial areas and their diachronic transformation. In particular, the chapter presents the first findings emerging from archaeological investigations begun by the University of Verona in 2018 in the south-eastern sector of Aquileia, where the twentieth-century excavations had already demonstrated the existence of commercial spaces dating to Late Antiquity.
