The name of Brescia comes from an ancient Indo-European root meaning an elevated place - possibly a fortress. This city of 200,000 people boasts more than 2,000 years of history. It began under Caesar in 49 BC. As early as in the 2nd century AD Brescia became a port, some archaelogical proofs for that can be seen today in Via Mantova. Brescia had its unfair share in the Huns' raids into the dying Roman Empire in the 6th century. After that, the city would most often be subject to power games between bigger local city-states, though there were time when it found itself able to cooperate with some powers against, for example, Venice. Ironically, Brescians themselves would once asked Venice to protect them against the power-hungry Viscontis from Milan.
