Excavations at Komini near Pljevlja and at Kolovrat near Prijepolje
were conducted from 1964-1967, and again in 1970-1977. Two
Roman-city cemeteries were discovered and nearly 700 graves, many
of them with inscribed monuments. These excavations represent the
significant finds of a Roman municipium at Komini, near present-day
Pljevlja, which sprang up in the central Balkan area far from the
main Roman communications network. The settlement grew in Roman
times in the valley through which the small Cehotina river flows, a
tributary of the river Lim. The municipium was situated in a plain
enclosed by high mountains, not far from another big Roman
settlement in present-day Kolovrat near Prijepolje. The Roman city
existed, as the findings from the excavated cemeteries prove, for
no longer than three and a half centuries, from the 1st to the 4th
centuries AD. There is no doubt that the settlement was granted
municipal status. Citizens holding municipal offices appear in the
inscriptions, but the actual name of the municipium has not yet
surfaced - either in inscriptions or in literary evidence. It is
believed that the abbreviation 'S' in one inscription refers to the
name of the municipium, although this is not proved by any other
inscription. The author, in this new study of the site, has adopted
the toponym 'Municipium S.', focussing on the collection,
commentary, and re-publication of all the inscriptions from this
location in the hope of presenting a reconstruction of the life of
the city, from the 1st to the 4th centuries AD, basing his research
on the literary, archaeological and epigraphical evidence.
