Lifeline of the Frontier: The Road and Port Network and the Concept of Supply and Distribution in Moesia Superior

Abstract

During the last decades, within Roman provincial archaeology, great attention has been paid to supplying the army. The concept of supply in Moesia Superior was not studied thoroughly enough. In this sense, this paper could represent an introduction to further study of the supply and transport of goods and other products. During the past few decades in Serbia, the question of supplying Roman troops in Moesia was most studied by Petar Petrović (Petrović 1980; Petrović 1983; Petrović 1991) and Viminacium research team (Ilić et al. 2011).
