Haliaetum

Haliaetum was a Roman port on the northern Adriatic coast of the Istrian peninsula.

The port was first established around 178-177BC following fierce resistance by the Histri, the indigenous population [From the Izola-Isola municipal website: "Rimski zasedbi Istre leta 178 pred n.št. so se Histri močno upirali, vendar so bili premagani". "The Roman occupation of Istria of 178BC was strongly resisted by the Histri, but they were defeated". See http://www.izola.si/index.php?page=static&item=429&tree_root=296] . The site of the port is at Valižan on Simonov zaliv (Simon’s Bay) to the southwest of the modern town of Izola in Slovenia. Remains visible at extreme low tide include parts of its pier as well as various port buildings [http://www.sycp.si/sycp/Cities.wlgt?Id=527] .
