Roman Tilurium

Tema ovog završnog rada je rimski Tilurij, koji je dugo vremena bio na margini arheologije i meta konstantne pljačke od strane lokalnog stanovništva, a tek se krajem 20. st. počeo sustavno arheološki istraživati pod vodstvom Mirjane Sanader. Arheološki je dosad istraženo više pozicija na prostoru legijskog logora. Prostor Tilurija je još od prapovijesti imao važnu ulogu u povijesti dalmatinskog prostora. Tilurij se nalazio na važnom prijelazu preko rijeke Cetine i sjecištu putova koji su vodili od obale prema sjeveru, istoku i jugu Dalmacije. To su prepoznali prvo Delmati, koji na tom prostoru grade svoju gradinu, a potom i Rimljani koji nakon pokoravanja Delmata početkom 1. st. na tom prostoru grade legijski vojni logor. U tom logoru je bila stacionirana prvo VII. legija, koja 42. god. dobiva počasni pridjevak Claudia Pia Fidelis, a nakon odlaska legije sredinom 1. st. više augzilijarnih postrojbi. Među tim augzilijarnim postrojbama koje su arheološki potvrđene u Tilurju imamo dvije konjaničke postrojbe, streličarsku postrojbu i četiri pješadijske postrojbe. U civilnom naselju Pons Tiluri, koje se razvija ispod logora, su bili stacionirani konzularni beneficijari. Unatoč arheološkim istraživanjima koja traju sve do danas, brojni dijelovi tog iznimno važnog lokaliteta su i dalje neistraženi te ugroženi pljačkom i izloženosti vremenskim elementima.The subject of this final thesis is roman Tilurium. This site, which was for a long time on the margins of archaeology and target of constant looting by local population, has only been systematically explored by Mirjana Sanader since the end of the 20th century. Multiple locations on the area of the legionary camp has been explored so far. The area of Tilurium has had, since prehistory, an enormous role in the history of dalmatia. Tilurium was situated on an important river crossing over Cetina, and was located on the junction of roads leading from the coast towards north, east and south of dalmatia. Delmatae were the first to recognize this, buliding a gradina hillfort on that site, and then the romans too, who, after their conquest of the delmatae, bulid a legionary military camp on that site. In that camp was stationed first the Seventh Legion, and after the departure of the legion in the middle of the first century, several auxiliary units. Among those auxiliary units which are archaeologically confirmed in Tilurium we have two cavarly units, an archery unit and four infrantry units. In the civilian settlement, which grows underneath the camp, consular beneficiarii were stationed. Despite the archeological research, which continue to this day, many parts of this important archaeological site are still unexplored and exposed to looting and weather elements
