Srembska Mitrovica: MRA-SRB-Sre009

Human settlement at Sirmium is attested by archeological evidence from around 5000 BC. Host from the 4^th century BC to a population of Illyrians and Celts, Sirmium fell under Roman control in the 1^st century BC and came to become the capital of the Pannonia Inferior province. Its political ascendency endured until at least the 4^th century AD, witnessed not only by its political designation but also by its large population. Its ultimate destruction came at the hands of the Avars in the late 6^th century. Remains of Sirmium’s Roman period include eight early Christian churches, numerous coins and ceramics, and a still-unexcavated hippodrome.
