Summary/Abstract: In Late Antiquity, Sirmium on the Sava River in Pannonia was undoubtedlythe most important and famous city of the Roman Empire in the Danubianterritories. An analysis of the Emperor Justinian’s novels devoted to JustinianaPrima (XI and CXXXI, 3), the works of Procopius of Caesarea, Cassiodorusand Hierocles’ geographical work provides a lot of important informationabout the functioning of this centre and the situation in the Danubian region,but not about Sirmium’s great significance to Justinian. There is no basis in thesources for crediting the Emperor with plans or actual political and military actionsdictated solely by the desire to capture this city.
