jan 1, 390 - Ausonius "Ordo urbium nobilium"
Description:
"IX. AQUILEIA:
This was not thy place; yet, raised by late deserts, thou shalt be named ninth among famous cities, O Aquileia, colony of Italy, facing toward the mountains of Illyria and highly famed for walls and harbour. But herein is greater praise, that in these last days Maximus, the whilom sutler posing as a captain, chose thee to receive his late expiation after five full years were spent. Happy thou who, as the glad witness of so great a triumph, didst punish with western arms the brigand of Rutupiae." (Ausonius, Order of Cities, 9)
Not Aponus in taste, not Nemausus in azure sheen is more clear, nor Timavus' sea-like flood more brimming-full (Ausonius, Order of Cities, 20)
