They Were Gone Forever: Late Roman Graves in the Area of the Viminacium Legionary Fortress
Abstract
Viminacium is located in Serbia, at the confluence of the Mlava and Danube rivers. It was an important Roman military base and for most of its history it was home to the Legio VII Claudia. According to the recent archaeological excavations of the fortress, it was found that it lacks the Late Roman construction phase. Based on the destroyed walls and ramparts, the filled defensive ditch, the tombs and the buildings from the late Roman period, it can be assumed that the fortress was abandoned in the 4th century AD.
