Historical background
ATILIA
(148 BC)
In 148 BC, Sp. Postumius Albinus Magnus and L. Calpurnius Piso Caesonius were consuls. The Third Punic War began the previous year. Cato the Elder died before his dream of the destruction of Carthage came true. In 148, the consul Calpurnius Piso continued the siege of the African metropolis, while Andriscus, who claimed to be the son of Perseus, was beaten in Macedonia by Quintus Caecilius Metellus who took the nickname Macedonian. The Via Postumia connects Aquileia to Verona and Cremona.
