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.
