Ulpiana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ulpiana (modern day Lipljan) was an ancient Roman city in the Balkans and a capital of the historic region of Dardania in the Balkans. Founded in the 2nd century during the rule of Emperor Trajan, and renewed in the 6th century during the rule of Justinian, after whom it was called Iustinana Secunda. Remains of this city, which has been destroyed and rebuilt several times throughout history, with basilica, mosaics, and tombstones, have been unearthed near Gracanica. In the early Christian period Ulpiana was an important episcopal center. A number of articles were discovered here such as coins, ceramics, weapons, jewelery, and similar.
