Oh...I don't know much about Ravenna and Milano...

Ravenna is not really an important Roman city. It rarely be shown on maps in the books (that I own). =w=

And...what's about Milano anyway? Seldom hear this name in Roman history.

Some cities like Antioch and Alexandria were hellenistic as much as roman.

Others like Ravenna and Constantinopole were great much latter.

I voted for Rome.

Ravenna IS an important Roman city!!! Unfortunatly I've never been there, but it's on every school book... Right Honorius, churches ;-)

 

Maybe you hear the name Mediolanum...

Maybe you're right, then, cause I really don't know much. My history books seldom mention this city...Frankly I don't know much about Roman cities except the four major ones, i.e. Roma, Constantinople, Antioch and Alexandria.

I voted for Roma. I guess it was a bit chaotic but a wonderful town. Not without reason all towns were compared with Roma.

 

I have link about Ravenna's mosaic so you can see it
