Last crawled date: 2 years, 10 months ago

Risan is the oldest urban centre in the inner part of Boka Kotorska Bay. The town used to be the throne capital of the Illyrian state in the 3rd century BC, at the time of Queen Teuta. The Romans occupied the town in 167 AD, and after the Diocletian’s reforms, it became part of the province of Dalmatia. In Risan, there are several archaeological findings from the classical period. The remains of cyclopean walls have been found, as have those of the houses and streets of a place called Carine. In the very centre of the town the remains of the Roman Villa urbana with its floor mosaics have been discovered. The Villa was probably built in the 2nd century AD. The mosaics contain geometrical and vegetable motifs, as well as the exceptionally rare presentation of the classical God of Sleep Hypnos. #boka #crna_gora #kotor #montenegro #mosaics #mozaici #old #risan #roman #teuta
