Timavo sources
Timavo (Italian), in Slovene known as Timava or Timav, is a 2-kilometers long river in the Province of Trieste. It has four sources near San Giovanni di Duino and outflows in the Gulf of Panzano (part of the Gulf of Trieste) in between Treviso and Monfalcone, Italy.
The river is of karstic nature. The hypothesis that it is solely the continuation of the Reka river (Slovenia) has been refuted in the 20th century. Timavo receives one third of water from Reka and two thirds from the rivers Vipava, Soča and from the meteorite waters from the Kras plateau.
The river was mentioned already by the Roman authors Livy, Strabo and Vergilius, but they wrote about ten sources. In the area of the sources was the Roman settlement Fons Timavi.
