Timacum Minus as the Crossroad between the Danube and Morava Velley
Апстракт
The fortification and settlement of Timacum Minus was one of the first inland Roman centers of the
Moesia Superior province, founded in the 1st century AD, at the place of a pre-Roman settlement.
Its position in the Timok region, at the halfway from Danube to Morava Basin made it a crossroad from prehistory. During its long life, from the 1st to the mid-5rh century, Timacum Minus
has transformed from a military logistic center for Dacian wars, to archeometallurgical center of
mining territory and, finally, to castellum controlling the road along the Timok valley. It played a
role in romanization of Moesia Superior and later in defense of Dacia Ripensis and other inland
provinces (Dacia Mediterranea, Dardania) from “barbarian” invasions. Also, Timacum Minus played
an important role in economy of Upper Moesia, especially during the second half of 2nd-the 3rd
century, functioning as an administrative and metallurgical center of mining territory (Territoria
metallorum), that is su...pported with epigraphic and archaeological evidence. Finally, from the 2nd
to 4th century, Timacum Minus was an urban settlement with prominent population of the Roman
army veterans who belonged to the local elite. Baths, villas and temples (dedicated to Jupiter, Diana
and Mars) show its wealth and importance.
