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?
