However over the centuries the mouths of the two rivers between which the city was built silted up the harbor, resulting in a ruined trade. In time the city became surrounded by marshlands, malaria ensued, and its inhabitants moved away. Velia had managed to withstand centuries of regional hostility, but withered before the forces of nature. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
