PUTNA STANICA AD DRINUM
ROAD STATION AD DRINUM

Summary/Abstract: Ad Drinum was the second station on the Roman road which connected Sirmium with the mining district Argentaria. The name of Ad Drinum station clearly indicates that the mentioned road station was located near the Drina River. The researchers’ opinions about locating Ad Drinum road station were divided. Zvornik town and village Drinjača are listed as potential locations of the mentioned road station. However, by considering the arguments on which earlier researchers have based their opinion, it has been concluded that none of the previously mentioned locations can be accepted as the location of the Ad Drinum station. The distance between Sremska Mitrovica and Zvornik, or Drinjača, differs considerably from the distance between Sirmium - Ad Drinum, which is listed on Tabula Peutingeriana. Based on the archaeological findings on the ground, as well as the data from the Tabula Peutingeriana, it can be concluded that the Ad Drinum road station was located in the vicinity of the village of Skočić, north of Zvornik.
