The mention of Roman archers can be found, however rarely, and mostly in later texts describing historical events in the Balkans during the turbulent late Roman period, but epigraphy, military diplomas at first place, shed further light on the distribution on Roman archery during the Principate. On the other hand, the slingers do not occur at all in sources, but the slingshots from Serbia are exceptional proof of their employment in this part of the Roman Empire. Remarkable number of clay and lead slingshots recovered during archaeological excavation, primarily from Iron Gate’s fortifications situated at the strategically important sites but also from fortress built for the control and protection of silver and lead mines.

The most interesting finding is a large fragmented mortarium with a massive spout and a workshop seal with an inscription stamped in two lines. The name of the manufacturer or workshop owner was conducted in the threepartite name formula: Ap(pius). Vlpi(us) | Ulpiari(us). A workshop seal with this name has not yet been recorded, which makes the entire finding even more important. The presence of mortaria deep within the provincial territory refers to the period when a more intense migration of populations with an already adopted Roman way of life, particularly regarding nutrition, might be expected. According to the aforementioned, the gentilicium (Ulpius) mortarium from the Grad site near Komini can be dated to the 2nd or 3rd century AD, corresponding to the archaeological context of the find and the period of the greatest rise of Municipium S.

It originates from a residential building, which, like the entire suburbs, was destroyed in a fire in 1688. It is a piece of copper alloy which, although it looks like a coin, was not used in a regular monetary exchange, but as a token (jetton) minted in Nuremberg in a workshop specialized in this type of product. Tokens were first used for accounting on a reckoning table but later were widely used as gaming counters. On the obverse is a representation of three crowns, alternately with three fleur-de-lis, arranged around a central rose and a legend: WVLF LAVFER IN NVRMBER which states the name of Wolf Lauffer I of Nuremberg (Wolf Lauffer I, master since 1554, died 1601). The reverse shows an imperial orb within a double tressure of three arches and three angles. Around the rim of the reverse runs the legend: AN GOTES SEGEN IS ALS GE (Everything is given on God’s blessing). The token belongs to the especially popular „rose / orb“ type which was made in Nuremberg in the period from 1550 to 1630. Based on the obverse, it can be more precisely determined in the second half of the 16th century, most probably in the period between 1583 and 1601. Since it was pierced, it was most likely worn as a pendant or as an amulet, which could indicate its somewhat prolonged use.

U fokusu istraživanja su epitafi, nadgrobna obilježja i rijetke predstave djece na njima, ali i funerarne prakse, grobni oblici i inventar sa najbolje istraženih rimskodobnih nekropola na ovom prostoru. Posebna pažnja je posvećena pisanim antičkim izvorima, koji se tiču odnosa prema smrti djece u različitim uzrastima i procesa i dužine "zvaničnog" tugovanja za najmlađima.

old necropolis of the settlement in Komini near Pljevlja, which is known in
scientific literature as Municipium S… It is broadly believed that the earliest
burials at Necropolis I were chronologically positioned in the 1st century AD or as early as the 1st century BC. Still, with a more detailed insight into
archaeological material from graves discovered in 1973, which has not been
thoroughly analysed up to now, data were obtained indicating that the earliest burials in Komini should be dated as early as the end of the 4th and the beginning of the 3rd century BC. These observations are even more significant because until now there have not been any data about funerary practice and grave forms for the period of the Late Iron Age in this area.

The chosen region was an integral part of the Illyrian world, but on the threshold of the Thracian at the end of later prehistory. As for the subsequent period of Ro-man domination, one of the most important tasks for the future exploration is at least partial enlightening the structure of the population the Romans found in this area at the turn of the Christ Era. Either the new era or the Christian era.

În prima jumătate a mileniului I î.Chr., zona a fost integrată în complexul cultural Glasinac-Mati. Spre deosebire de acesta, este general acceptat faptul că ultimele secole de dinainte de Cristos, nu au lăsat urme arheologice. Practicile de înmormântare din necropola plană de la Komini reprezintă cel mai bun exemplu şi au fost plasate cronologic în secolul I î.Chr. Cea mai recentă analiză a inventarelor mormintelor și a documentației de la Komini au conturat un grup de morminte mai timpurii, completând tabloul practicilor funerare din secolul al III-lea î.Chr și după. Cuvinte cheie: epoca fierului, practice funerare, tumuli, necropola de la Komini, nordul Muntenegrului.

The monument — limestone funerary altar, dated to the third century, was erected for a prominent Roman citizen from the Publicii family, by his mother. It is worth mentioning that another inscription, also from the third century, was discovered in the immediate vicinity of the church, at the site of Drenovik. It is a dedication made by Lollius Concessus, a consular beneficiary from the legio I Adiutrix. Although no archaeological research has been conducted so far, considerable remains of ancient architectural constructions on the site of Drenovik, as well as the strategic position of the place where the inscriptions were found in Kifino Selo, may point to the existence of an unknown settlement near the important road connection, which led from Narona to Nevesinjsko Polje and northwest via Konjic to Sarajevsko Polje.

At the same time, the older Roman necropolis was totally destroyed, so that only the bottoms of tomb holes filled with soot could be seen in the terrain. Following the protected archaeological excavation, the aforementioned church and a small arched tomb by its northern wall were uncovered in full. Another Roman tombstone was found on this occasion, a stela which was used as a stairway from pronaos to naos in the church. The stela belongs to a very large group of tombstones from this part of the province and its compositional schema is a unique example in the area of Pljevlja. From the epigraph we collected the names of four deceased persons (Pletor, Maximina, Victorinus and Statia Fuscina). The name Pletor, which was seen for the first time in the area of Pljevlja on this epigraph, can be added to a lar...
