A great introduction to the many sites (those researched and many which are untouched) of the country. It has been compiled from many original sources with the help of the Roman 'road map' - the Tabula Peutingeriana as a basis to list locations (both with modern and antique names) by the author.
This is superb one man publication, translated by the author into English, plotting each region of the country listing each of the sites with drawings, concise directions and the finds and stories associated with them. His passion for archaeology is obvious when you start to read about the locations and especially when evidence points to sites yet to be explored such one area around Požega where aerial photographs have revealed the possible ruins of a Roman ampitheatre!.... Now, where are my shovel and wellies?
