This paper presents the results of long-lasting research of the archaeological site of
Viminacium. Since 1882, when the first excavations were conducted, until today,
the most explored were the necropolises, with almost 14,000 graves, while research
of the legionary fort and the city itself only really gained focus in this century. At the
beginning of the 21st century, a new phase of the Viminacium examination began
when multidisciplinary research started, including, among other things, remote sensing
and anthropological, archaeobotanical, archeozoological and physical-chemical
analysis. Systematic excavations of the amphitheatre are now finished, while those of
legionary fort are still ongoing.
