Sažetak
As part of the Joint Australian – Serbian archaeological project
at Glac near ancient Sirmium, an archaeological survey is being
undertaken of a Study Area of a 700 km² slice of the catchment
of the Sava River. Two of the objectives of the survey are
to understand the environmental conditions and the nature of
the rural economy in the Study Area during the Roman period.
As part of this survey an examination has been undertaken of
existing literary, epigraphical and archaeological evidence relating
to the area in the Roman period. Consideration has been
given to the Notitia Dignitatum (“The List of Offices”) that lists
two imperial weaving houses (gynaecea) at Sirmium (modern
Sremska Mitrovica) and Bassianae (adjoining the modern village
of Donji Petrovci). The location of two imperial weaving houses
in such close proximity to each other is unprecedented, subject
to a peculiarity at Salona and Split, and has not previously been
noted. The potential implications of the existence of two imperial
weaving houses in such close proximity are considered together
with potential implications on the likely rural economy
and the environmental conditions of the area in the late Roman
period.
