Roman Dardania

This volume is an attempt to reconstruct the road system in the territory of Roman Dardania with its settlements, stations, posts, services etc. It draws upon heterogeneous and dispersed material, such as: Roman itineraries; carefully made notes by 16th–19th-century travellers with their inexhaustible wealth of diverse information; the archaeological picture on the ground; the ample relevant literature with its opposing views and controversies; and, to a lesser extent, medieval cartographic data, and local toponymy with its survivals from ancient times.
Bringing together all data, dilemmas and contradictions surrounding this complex topic, the book bases its perspective on responsible data analysis, meticulous search for barely visible clues and a broad coverage of information contained in the ample literature. The volume is furnished with a French summary.
