Death in Pola
#2
I don't know much about the two executions, but for the other things.
Pola or Pula now in Roman times has up to 30.000 people inside their walls with a amphitheatre that is still standing now. At that time surely it had protected port. If in ancient times you were going around the Adriatic sea in a ship, a stop there will be almost obligatory, if you were going around by foot you will choose the route 80 km to the north of Pola(almost in front of my current houseSmile
Again I don't know about piracy in the 4 century , but al the problems with it were settled already in the 2century BC(when the Romans almost wipe out the Histrians) and surely at the time of Augustus the area started to have villas all around the peninsula.
Surely next time when I will be visiting the Pola archaeological museum I will have something to ask(currently in restoration).
