Good morning everyone.
After few days of traveling I finally decided to make a post.. My husband, son and me were visiting our hometown..
The oldest town in Croatia - VINKOVCI.
The new settlement of Cibalae (Illyrian: hill) was founded by the Romans at the site of Hotel-Tržnica, when they began to systematically secure the border (limes) on the Danube for defense against barbarian tribes. The settlement was gradually Romanized and during the reign of Emperor Hadrian (117-138) it received the status of a municipium, Municipium Aelium Cibalae. The city most likely gained the status of a colony during the reign of Emperor Caracalla (196-217) and since then it has become Colonia Aurelia Cibalae. The city of Cibalae is of great importance for Roman history.
