Roman Ruins of Serbia
Roman Ruins of Serbia
►Read the blog: davidsbeenhere.com/category/blog/
Come with us as we take you to see four of the best Roman Ruins in Serbia. Serbia was under Roman rule for about 600 years, from the 1st century BC until the Slavs invaded in the 6th century. Serbia was the birth place of 17 Roman Emperors, including Constantine the Great who was the first Christian Emperor of the Roman Empire.
The first stop is ancient Sirmium in the modern day Serbian town of Sremska Mitrovica. Sirmium is a fascinating Roman imperial complex that dates back to the 1st century AD. We visit the archaeological museum for a tour of Roman artifacts: tombstones, sarcophagus, sculptures, columns, and coins.
Then we visited the 5th century Christian Basilica dedicated to St. Demetrius. Sirmium actually had one of the highest concentrations of Christian Basilicas, especially since Christianity was rapidly growing through the region in the first half of the 4th century. The first Christian Emperor Constantine spent more time during his reign in Sirmium than in any other city in the Balkans.
And lastly we visit the Imperial complex, which is preserved within a building in the center of town for all to see. What we see today are some of the original mosaics, bath system, and palace walls. Sirmium is an easy daytrip from Belgrade, it’s just a one-hour drive east on the road to Croatia.
Next up we head east of Belgrade to the Roman military base of Viminacium. It’s a fascinating archaeological park situated where the River Mlava empties into the Danube. Lubomir, an archaeologist who has worked to uncover several of the sites here takes us for a tour.
This ancient Roman military fort served at the base for the Seventh Legion Claudia in the fourth century, but it was in use well before that time since the 1st century. We walk around one of the covered excavation sites to see the ruins of ancient roads, public bath system, tiles, and human remains in the necropolis.
Viminacium is a great day trip from Belgrade especially for history lovers. The site also features a reconstructed amphitheater and beautiful visitors center, modeled after an ancient Roman villa rustica. There is also a hotel and restaurant onsite.
We now head southeast to Felix Romuliana in the town of Gamzigrad, Serbia. We take a quick tour of and visit some of the highlights of this amazing archaeological park and UNESCO World Heritage Site. He built it to commemorate his retirement from the throne and named it after his mother Romula. It is a sprawling compound spread across 10 acres.
The columns of the Imperial Palace are not completely original, but they were erected to give visitors an idea about how the atrium once looked. It holds an impressive collection of mosaics, statues including a bust of Emperor Galerius, Roman coins, and aerial photography of the site.
Lastly, we drive south close to the border of Kosovo to visit Justiniana Prima, or Empress’ Town near the town of Leskovac. Our guide Nebojsa takes us for a tour of the Byzantine ruins of Justiniana Prima.
Justiniana Prima was an early Christian city founded by Emperor Justinian I. It served as the seat of the Archbishop from 535 to 615. The site contains what is left of an enormous basilica, the acropolis, lower town, and upper town. Justiniana Prima served as the administrative and spiritual center of Illyricum, a Roman province that encompassed the central Balkan Peninsula.
We see portions of unearthed mosaics and the remains of the public bath complex, which was heated by an innovative method known as the hypocaust system in which the heat from an oven was used to heat the floors from underneath, sort of like ancient sub-floor heating. Justiniana Prima is a beautiful site that badly needs to be maintained. While the Serbian government sorts that out, you will need a guide to show you around the different areas so you know what you’re looking at.

Very disrespectful of you not to include province of Kosovo and Metohija into a map of Serbia. Kosovo is not a country, its not in the UN, its at best a disputed territory (name "Kosovo" itself being Serbian), so I see no reason whatsoever to exclude it from a map of Serbia.
You have a weird map of Serbia.
So much history in Serbia!

As a Serbian archaeology student I thank you for an amazing video. Yes, people here dislike your map a lot and even I personally disagree with it. That being said video is still on point and don't take any insults too seriously, it's just a complicated topic for us. Any promotion of our country which is unfairly downgraded by western culture in general is more than welcome.

For real? in those times Kosovo was Serbia this dude just told the world that it is not, and that Kosovo today don't belong to Serbia because there is no historic connection to it, sometime any publicity is not good publicity.
Kako je ovo ruzno,da na mapi se odvoji Kosovo i Metohija,ko daje pravo ovo ovim ljudima.Sram da vas bude.
2:08 Wrong map my dear friend. Please change it.
5:50 mate you got no clue. the Slavs didn't come from no where. they been there from time of Noe known as names as SERBS too. if they come from north and took over almost all roman imperium took over culture language script etc, so how they took the DNA from people who lived there on that time? can any of YOU "experts" explain it plzzzz?????? Thank in advance
That tour guy from Iustiniana Prima said Slavic people were barbaric, but we never learned of the battles Serbs had with the Romans (before they established real states). This guy is instrumented to spread fake history of Slavic invasions that never happened (as far as the Serbs are concerned). and your video didn't included Ulpiana, why?

We could make real change on global scale,if only RT America would like to broadcast real history documentaries about serbian,and slavic history.
Wtf? Where’s kosovo and metohija serbia isn’t complete
What is the coat you are wearing in this video???
Wtf?! Where is Kosovo dude?
Where is Kosovo !? Dislike
Made second part with Kosovo and Metohija to complete your video. You insult us and yourself with your work.
nice
These are remains. ,,Ruins" is the inappropriate term in this concern. Graphic image of Serbia does not comply to valid UN decision which must prevail your personal or any public opinion or prejudice. Thank you
West of Belgrad not East 0:16???
Very nice, thank you for introducing this portion of Serbia to us.
Dislike because of Kosovo and Mehohija

No Kosovo and Metohija!? Dislike from me.

Davidsbeenhere You have chopped Kosovo and Metohija from Serbia. Kosovo and Metohija are Holly Land to Serbs. You should be shame what you did. Could you imagine that somebody choped Washington from Americans or London from British People. You do not respect the Serbs the first civilised Europeans who settled in Balkan 25000 30000 years ago not like Germanic tribes who arrived in Europe 4000-3000 years BC. Shqiptaret are liars. They are lying that Kosovo and Metohija are their lands. They grabbed this land from Serbs with help of NATO. Shqiptaet occupied this land by having high birth rate the highest in Europe in incest sexual relationships mostly with their close relatives even sisters and sisters in law or fathers in law with doughters in law. They have done this in incest sexsual relationships with only purpose to seize the land from Serbs. Shqiptaret are not happy. They got the land with help of NATO but they are daying from cancer as result of bombardment of Kosovo and Metohija with depleted uranium. Shqiptaret are massively leaving Kosovo. Their birth rate is dramatically going down all Shqiptaret want to leave Kosovo. Kosovo is cursed land. Now the number of Shqiptaret drop for 200%. In Kosovo have lived 2 million Shqiptaret now only 700 thousend. There is the crime but there is the panishment. In 10 years Shqiptaret will not be more than 7thousend. If you grab the land of others it will bring damnation to you and your people. The Shqiptaret will live them selves Kosovo and Metohija without NATO help.. Kosovo is cursed land. This land is throwing out Shqiptaret like mud. Shqiptaret are cursed. That is Kosovo.
