MOTIVATIONAL TOOLS FOR SCHOOL INTERPRETATION

Moje diplomsko delo obravnava antične pisce, ki so pisali o današnjem slovenskem prostoru. O dogajanju na naših tleh so pisali tako grški kot tudi rimski pisci, med katerimi so Herodot, Polibij, Strabon in mnogi drugi. Med kraji, ki se omenjajo na naših tleh, je predvsem pet večjih mest: Petoviona, Emona, Celeia, Neviodunum in Nauport ter z njimi povezani pomembni dogodki, Rimljani pa so bili prisotni tudi v manjših krajih. Del diplomske naloge se dotika tudi cestnega omrežja, ki je potekalo čez naše ozemlje in je pravi pomen dobilo šele, ko je bilo označeno na kartah in krajevnih seznamih. Med pomembnimi pisnimi viri, ki omenjajo ceste skozi današnji slovenski prostor so Tabula Peutingeriana, Itinerarium Burdigalense in Itinerarium Antonini. Poleg cest pa so na našem območju bile pomembne tudi nekatere reke: Soča, Ljubljanica (Nauport), Krka (Korkoras). Med najpomembnejše dogodke v antiki pri nas pa zagotovo sodi bitka pri Frigidu leta 394, v kateri je Teodozij premagal Evgenija, in s tem omogočil zmago krščanstva nad poganstvom, zato je temu dogodku namenjen velik del diplomskega dela. Podan pa je tudi pregled preganjanja kristjanov na območju današnje Slovenije. Omenjen je tudi prvi ptujski škof in razlagalec svetega pisma.My diploma thesis deals with antique writers who wrote about present Slovene area. Greek and Roman writers wrote about events on our ground, among them Herodotus, Polybius, Strabo, Pliny the Elder, Cassius Dio and many others. During the antiquity there were mainly 5 bigger towns mentioned on our ground: Petoviona, Emona, Celeia, Nevidonum and Nauportthe Romans were present also in smaller places. Road network had an important role in antiquity, which became vital only when the network was marked on the maps and local lists. Among important written sources which mention roads through present Slovene area are Tabula Peutingeriana, Itinerarium Burdigalense and Itinerarium Antonini. Beside roads there are also some of the rivers mentioned in our area: Soča, Ljubljanjica (Nauport), Krka (Korkoras) etc. Among the most important events which took place on the Slovenian ground in antiquity is definitely a battle by Frigid in 394, in which Theodosius defeated Eugenius and thus enabled Christian victory over paganism. Therefore, the great deal of the diploma work is dedicated to it. Diploma work also mentions the antique sources which provide data about persecution of the Christians on the present Slovenian ground. The first Poetovian bishop and Bible interpreter is also mentioned
