wi altinum was built on venice

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1203473/The-lost-Roman-city-Altinum-precursor-Venice-rises-aerial-maps-reveal-detailed-street-plan.html altinum was a roman city near what would become Venice, but was burned downed by attila so what if it was built on Venice would've been? would it last past Attila's invasion? if it does how long does it last? and would it become a city-state like it was otl?

Aren't Venice's people supposed to be the survivors of the destruction of aquelia?

Cause I think that is what the article is supposed to be saying, with their own "creative liberties" along with it:rolleyes:.

Aquelia probably had a FAR larger population than this city did, estimated in the 100,000s range.

so it would have probrably still went and become Venice or a Venice like state.
i guess since the city is intact and a larger population could make a earlier rise of Venice while there still under byzie and possibly renaissance
 
I don't think changing Altinuim's position to where Venice is would change much. It is likely the city would follow the same path through history that Venice would.
 
Venice was marshy salty swampland islets in the middle of a muddy lagoon. No purpose whatsoever, from a Roman POV, to build anything at all there.
