Prilog Proučavanju Društva Na Području Srednjeg Podrinja U Rimsko Doba

Abstract

In comparison with other areas of modern Bosnia and Herzegovina, the area of middle Podrinje had the highest population in Roman Ages. That led to the creation of different social strata. By analyzing the epigraphic and archaeological material, we try to answer the following questions: how did the Roman society look like and what was the social status of some social categories; in what position was the indigenous population compared to immigrants; what marks were left behind by the merchants, craftsmen, miners, and slaves? Keywords Roman society, middle Podrinje, native population, senatorial and knight classes, high and low social classes, craftsmen, slaves, merchants, freedmen
