Abstract

The analyses of W. W. Müller on the marbles from the quarries in today’s Carinthia as well as Styria and Štajerska
(Untersteiermark) combined with the investigations of B. Djurić have brought a lot of information about the marbles used
in these regions in Antiquity as well as the means of transport. This contribution tries to discuss the possibilities of transport
of marble from the various quarries to their final destination discerning between transport by river and transport on land.
