The Italian city of Ravenna was once an important port on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. In 402 A.D., Honorius made it the capital of the west Roman Empire.
Today, Ravenna is some five miles from the sea and no longer a port. Sand and silt brought down from the plains of Lombardy by the great River Po and washed up by the sea currents slowly formed a huge sand bar, burying the harbor.
