Summary/Abstract: On the territory of the present Bosnia and Herzegovina the Romans had built a dense net of roads, the remnants of which have been visible even today in many places. Since this was a mining territory, and also an area in-between the two important provinces at the Balkans (Dalmatia and Panonia), several quite important main roads passed through this territory. Some of them had been built way back in the first century A. D. Their reaching points were Salona and Narona. Some of them were mentioned in occasional epigraphic monuments, and the others in works of some Roman authors, such as in a Tabula Peutingeriana, Itinerarium Antonini etc. Some of the roads were fortified on certain sections. Milestones give the best evidence for it, and a number of them was discovered in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
