The base of the statue in honor of Tito Annio Lusco was found in 1995 in the western part of the forum. It pays homage to one of the triumvirs who, in 169 BC, increased the population of Aquileia with another 1500 families.
As the inscription always recalls, Tito Annio Lusco assembled the corpus of laws and handed them over to the colony, and three times integrated the senate of the city.
The republican forum consisted of an elongated square, paved with bricks, overlooked by the buildings destined for the political, economic and religious life of the colony: the meeting, the food market (macellum) and the temple behind it. We only know of this first sacred building from the inscription placed on the base of the statue of the triumvir Titus Annius Luscus.

The largest 'Pompeian' residence discovered in Northern Italy is found in Aquileia: it is the domus of Tito Macro. A large house of which the extraordinary mosaics are preserved, evidence of the style and taste of the ancient inhabitants of the Roman city, an ancient crossroads between Europe and the Mediterranean.Aquileia, site of memory
The Heroes' Cemetery, historic testimony of the First World War, preserves the memory of when Aquileia was crossed by the tragic conflict that ended in 1918. In the days that followed the Great War Aquileia became a symbol of Italian spirit with the first military cemetery for the fallen on the karst front.UN PROGETTO DI
