During the Roman Republic and Empire, it served as Rome's primary harbor city and was significantly developed by Julius Caesar and Tiberius. Following a period of abandonment due to disease, the town remained buried for more than a millennium until its rediscovery. The site is renowned for the remarkable preservation of its ancient structures, stunning frescoes, and striking mosaics.
