Cast - Silver 925 A bit about the history of the ancient Balkans: In the ancient times, the Balkans were part of Moesia and the Dalmatia provinces of the Roman Empire. For 600 years, starting from the 1st century AD, the territory that is now Central Serbia was part of the Moesia province of the Holy Roman Empire. The territory of today's Montenegro was part of the Roman province of Dalmatia. The main city of this region was Docklea, founded circa 100 AD not far from modern Podgorica. The most important Roman road, Via Militaris, passed along the valleys of Sava, Morava, and Timok rivers. In 330 AD, Emperor Constantine the Great moved the capital of the Roman Empire to the city of Byzantium. After the Roman Empire split in 395, the entire Balkan peninsula, excluding Dalmatia, became part of the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire. From the the beginning of the 5th century numerous Slavic tribes start settling in the Balkans. During Emperor Justian’s rule, the Byzantine Empire reaches the peak of its power. At the end of the 7th century, the Turki arriving from the North of the Black Sea region establish the First Bulgarian Empire. The long-time domination of the Roman Empire, from the 1st to 5th century A.D., provided conditions for the establishment of two important mints on the territory of modern Serbia - Sirmium (Sremska Mitrovica) and Viminacium (modern Kostolac). The name of the Serbian currency dinar is derived from the Roman currency denarius. Item #208КМ
