Prvo znano rimsko naselje na Vrhniki, imenovano Navport, so verjetno v sredini 1. stoletja pr. Kr. zgradili akvilejski trgovci na desnem bregu Ljubljanice. Obdano je bilo z obzidjem. Večina stavb v njem so bila velika, dolga skladišča, ki so bila razvrščena okoli osrednjega trga. Ladje so pristajale ob lesenem pomolu in ob utrjeni brežini vzdolž naselbine. Tu so tovor, ki so ga iz Akvileje pripeljali na vozovih, preložili na plovila.

The first known Roman settlement at Vrhnika, called Nauportus, was probably built in the mid-1st century BC by merchants from Aquileia. It was located on the right bank of the Ljubljanica and enclosed within defence walls. It held numerous warehouses arranged around a central square. At the wooden landing-pier and the reinforced embankment along the settlement, ships were loaded with cargo that had been transported from Aquileia by cart.
