Architectural Features of Roman Horrea in the Area of Modern-day Serbia
Abstract
The expansion of the Roman Empire and the formation of new provinces brought
about the establishment of a serious system of collecting, storing and distributing
food and other goods. Food storage facilities (horrea) were built throughout the empire
both for the needs of the army and for the needs of the civilian population. The
subject of this paper is the analysis of the features of these specific facilities, their size,
shape, constructive characteristics, in the area of Upper Moesia and Lower Pannonia.
