CONCORDIA (mod. Concordia Sagittaria)

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 835 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COM-COR
CONCORDIA (mod. Concordia Sagittaria) , an ancient town of Venetia, in Italy, 16 ft. above sea-level, 31 M. W. of Aquileia, at the' junction of roads to Altinum and
Patavium
 , to Opitergium (and thence either to Vicetia and Verona, or Feltria and Tridenturn), to Noricum by the valley of the Tilaventus (Tagliamento), and to Aquileia. It was a mere
village
  until the time of
Augustus
 , who made it a colony. Under the later
empire
  it was one of the most important towns of Italy; it had a strong garrison and a factory of missiles for the army. The cemetery of the garrison has been excavated since 1873, and a large number of important
inscriptions
 , the
majority
  belonging to the end of the 4th and the beginning of the 5th centuries, have been discovered. It was taken and destroyed by
Attila
  in A.D. 452. Considerable remains of the ancient town have been foundparts of the city walls, the sites of the forum and the theatre, and probably that of the arms factory. The objects found are preserved at Portogruaro, 14 m. to the N. The see of Concordia was founded at an early period, and transferred in 1339 to Portogruaro, where it still remains. The
baptistery
  of Concordia was probably erected in 1 too.
