Following the Roman Road on Mountain Konjuh near Kladanj

Abstract

This paper presents research results of a Roman road on Mountain Konjuh (Bosnia and Herzegovina). It documents the remnants of road communications in modern settlements in Konjuh municipality. We documented the length of the discovered road sections (completely or partially preserved), their width, slope angle, embankment height, and stone type on the cleaned parts. According to the found remains, we concluded that this Roman road went from the direction of Olovo, and that it passed the Stara Karaula pass and over the slopes of Konjuh and then arrived at Kladanj. One leg of this road led from Kladanj through the settlements of Plahovići and Pauč to Pekara locality (today known as Muška voda), in the river valley of Drinjača River. We performed its georeferencing according to the found marks of the Roman road, recording them and studying the Austro-Hungarian maps.
