| Popis: | Fokus ovog rada je na istraživanju brdske dionice rimske ceste koja je vodila od naselja Incero (Požeška kotlina) preko Stravianae (okolica Našica?) do Mursae (Osijek), a koja se spominje u rimskom itineraru kao dio regionalne ceste Siscia – Mursa. Raniji istraživači ove ceste iznose podatak da je antička cesta prema putnoj postaji Stravianis bila trasirana kroz gorje Krndiju, a najčešće se ubicira nedaleko od Bedemgrada odnosno Gradca Našičkog, na čijem je širem području u dosadašnjim istraživanjima zabilježena i najveća koncentracija rimskih nalaza na području Krndije. Kako bi istražili geoprometne karakteristike predmetne dionice ove rimske ceste odnosno pokušali shvatiti razloge trasiranja ove rimske ceste brdskim područjem Krndije, u ovom radu smo primjenili metode i alate koje koristi arheologija krajolika odnosno mogućnosti geografskog informacijskog sustava. Unutar tog sustava smo georeferencirali podatke iz izvora, literature i terenskih pregleda te koristeći Least Cost Path algoritam generirali optimalne rute između ključnih točaka, što je omogućilo geoprometnu analizu i predikciju najpotentnijih koridora kojima je mogla biti trasirana predmetna dionica. Primjenom ovakve metodologije dobili smo rezultate koji na temelju konkretnih prostornih analiza u velikoj mjeri potvrđuju ranije pretpostavke o trasi, ali i donose neka nova saznanja koja ukazuju na mogućnost trasiranja ove ceste alternativnim odnosno direktnijim pravcem prema Mursi, koji ranije nije uziman u obzir. This paper focuses on the exploration of the hill section of the Roman road that led from the settlement of Incero (the Požega basin) via Stravianis (around Našice) to Mursa (Osijek), which is mentioned in Roman itineraries as part of a regional road, Siscia – Mursa. Earlier researchers of this road report that the ancient road to the road station of Stravianis was routed through the Krndija Mountains, and is usually thought to be near Bedemgrad, i.e. Gradac Našički, as previous research found the largest concentration of Roman finds in its wider area. In order to investigate the spatial characteristics of that section of the route of the Roman road and why it was routed through this particular hilly area of Krndije, this paper applies the methods and tools used by landscape archaeology – more precisely, the capabilities of the geographic information system; within that system, we georeferenced the data from ancient sources, literature, and field surveys. We used the Least Cost Path algorithm to generate optimal routes between "key" points, which enabled the spatial analysis and prediction of the corridor in question. By applying this methodology, we obtained results based on specific spatial analyses, largely confirming earlier assumptions about the route and the location of the Roman road station of Stravianis, but also bring some new knowledge indicating the possibility that Romans could also use an alternative or more direct route towards Mursa that was not considered before, umjesto and the location of the Roman road station of Stravianis. |
