Srebrenica i okolica u rimsko doba
Srebrenica and its surroundings during the roman period

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with Srebrenica and its surroundings during the Roman period. The excavations conducted towards the end of the last century, at the site of Gradina near Sase, not far from Srebrenica, recovered a Roman settlement for which it was established that it was a typical mining settlement. All buildings that a typical Roman town had (country-house, thermae, tribunal, forum et al.), a large number of inscriptions that were erected by town and mining officials, as well as a multitude of objects that miners used were found. The greater part of information about this settlement came from the material unearthed on the site of the town’s necropolis. The second largest Roman settlement was located in Skelani on the River Drina. The inscriptions that were found indicate that an important customs (beneficiary) station was located there. Numerous remains of the Roman culture in the entire area of the middle Drina Valley are indicative of the fact that this part of Bosnia was densely populated, the centre of which was Domavia, which was, as an important centre of silver exploitation, ranked as a colony.
