Military graves from the Late Roman necropolis at slog in Ravna (Timacum Minus)
Апстракт
The necropolises of the Roman fortification and settlement Timacum Minus, in
the village of Ravna, near Knjaževac, were partially explored by systematical
and rescue archaeological excavations. The most extensively explored was the
part of the Late Roman necropolis on the eastern slope of the Slog hill,
about 400m west of the fortification, where 80 graves from this period have
been investigated. The analysis of the human osteological material, and the
archaeological finds from the aforementioned necropolis, confirmed 17
military graves, containing adult male individuals with traces of injuries,
stress markers and pathological changes, characteristic of a military
population, as well as military equipment and weapons. At the time of the
formation of the Late Roman necropolis at the site of Slog, during the second
half of the 4th and the first half of the 5th century, the garrison of the
Timacum Minus fortification consisted of an equestri...an unit of
pseudocomitatenses Timacenses, a part of the auxiliary formation that secured
the forts and roads in the Timok region. Among the graves from the three
phases of the Late Roman necropolis, similarities as well as certain
differences are apparent, indicating changes in the structure of the civilian
and military population of Timacum Minus.
