Ravenna became prosperous due to its strategic location, serving as a key port connecting the Eastern and Western Roman Empire. It also became the capital of the Western Roman Empire and later the Ostrogothic Kingdom, attracting wealth and trade. Additionally, its mosaics and art patronage by rulers contributed to its prosperity and cultural significance.
