Guess the ancient city!

Time for a hint, methinks.

 

It was once a bishops seat.

Antioch.

 

Not that easy I'm afraid :)

Both wrong.

 

The city prospered from the mid 2nd century BC until the mid 1st century BC, but it's history is considerably older than that.

Minturnae?

 

Unfortunately not. It was never a Roman colony (as far as I know).

I'll stab in the dark and land the point in Saguntum.

I do not think that you ever said it was a Roman colony - thanks you the clue, though! Besides, in 295 BC Colonia Minturnae received the status colonia civium Romanorum, eventually being recolonised under Augustus, who, following a fire in the town, settled veterans in the area.

 

Is it Paestum?

Not quite that recently, would be too easy after Maladict found out about Ostia :oops:
