Summary/Abstract: Hundreds of epigraphic monuments, that were found by now in Bosnia and Herzegovina, make authentic evidence about political, cultural and social heritage of the people of that time in the province of Dalmatia (Dalmatia) and two parts of Pannonia (Pannonia Superior and Pannonia Inferior). Although systematic research is unknown, the number of newly discovered epigraphic monuments in Bosnia and Herzegovina has increased significantly and four more epigraphic monuments will be added to the body of epigraphic material. Two of them were found in the wider area of Trebinje, while the rest were found in Crkvina near Makljenovac (Doboj). All four monuments belong to different types of epigraphic inscriptions. A milestone and a fragment of a cippus was found in Trebinje. The milestone dates from the III century and can be put in year 236 during the reign of the emperor Maximinus Thrax (Imperator Caesar Caius Iulius Verus Maximinus Augustus 235-238) and his son Maximus (Gaius Julius Verus Maximus Princeps Iuventutis). There is a posibility that the monument was a part of communication network that was passing through the Nevesinje field to Sarajevo field or to the municipal unit Aque. This milestone is today exposed in the Museum of Herzegovina.
