Abstract

Prehistoric and roman settlement on the hill of Viničica (420 m) near Josipdol, dominates a great part of Ogulinsko polje. Since 2002, systematic archaeological investigation has been conducted on this considerably big and important settlement as part of the project Settlements and communications in the context of the Adriatic littoral and hinterland, funded by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports. The importance of the settlement was big during prehistory, especially in the Iron Age. In ancient times the settlement that existed at the same location probably had a municipal status. Most researchers agree that there had been the Metulum, Iapodian capital, which was, after a long siege, conquered by Octavian in 35 BC. The role that the settlement on Viničica had on this territory in prehistory and antiquity was taken over by the town of Modruš. For that reason the first issue of the periodical Modruški zbornik contains a paper which presents a systematic archaeological investigation of the area in prehistory and antiquity.
