Abstract
Limes Delmaticus (the line of military fortresses of Burnum, Kadina Glavica, Andetrium, Tilurium and Bigeste in the area between two rivers Krka and Cetina) became a very important element of the colonization process in the newly created Province of Dalmatia at beginning of 1st century AD. The soldiers of XI. legio (Burnum) and VII. legio (Tilurium) collaborated on the construction of new road system at the time of Publius Cornelius Dolabella (14 - 20 AD).
Those roads simplified the penetration of new inhabitants into Dalmatian countryside where new settlements were established in this time period. Veterans of legions and auxiliary units obtained a piece of land after the long military service; some veterans of XI. and VII. legio settled down in Dalmatia in the vicinity of Burnum and Tilurium.
The area around rivers Krka and Cetina was quite densely inhabited in Antiquity; those types of settlements were found: vici, municipia, villae rusticae. This poster will provide a new comprehensive map of the area around the Limes Delmaticus in the relation to the civil settlement and evaluate the unique status of this area according to its proximity of capital city of Salona.
