Utjecaj podizanja trajnih naselja i uzgoja žitarica na razvoj putnih komunikacija
The impact of permanent settlements and grain cultivation on the development of road communications

Summary/Abstract: The transformation of hunter-gatherer society, who lived as nomads for a very long time, largely influenced the development of road communication. These communities now established permanent settlements, especially in arable lands, and had a somewhat lifestyle than before. The cultivation of grains and domestication of animals meant that people had no more need for migration and the search for better locations, instead they started setting up their homes in the proximity to other community members, thereby forming the first Neolithic settlements. By forming the settlements appeared the need to establish a communication with other communities in the territory of present-day Balkans and wider, usually for the purpose of trade of certain goods, which had a direct impact on the road communication development that laid foundations for the development of the roads in the Roman period. Several such settlements are known in the territory of present-day Bosnia that maintained continuity and tradition as well as road communications from the Neolithic period up to the Roman period, i.e. Roman governor Publius Cornelius Dolabella, under whose governorship the widest road communication network was built in the territory of the province of Dalmatia.
