The Augustan conquest of the Colsamian Empire, however, affected heavily the ancient city which was refunded few chilemeters away from the previous city-center as a naval base by the Augustan rulers.
Bescara, a Kalopian corruption of the original selucian name Piscarius (clearly related to the fishing activity), despite the attept by the Augustan to develop its as a trade, didn't achieve to face the competition of other cities on the southern coasts and in fact, after the retirement of the Augustans, the city began to decline and the Ahmadi conquest didn't improved the situation of the city which for other centuries remained a little center on southern Istalia.
