60 Archaeological Guide of Kosovo Fig. 141. Fragment of a Roman terra sigillata from Ulpiana
141 142 Municipium D.D. (‘Dardanorum’) The archaeological site of Municipium DD (Dardanorum) is situated in the northern part of Kosovo, located approximately 27 kilometres north of Mitrovica, in the Municipality of Leposavic, localized in the village of Socanica. In one side, the site is positioned in an excellent geographical place, set between the Iber and Socanica river flow and on the other side, surrounded by Rogozna and Kopaonik mountains. The surrounding zone used to be rich in precious metals (gold and silver), therefore, due to these natural resources, the occupancy grows from a small settlement to a one of the most important ancient urban centres, very active during the roman ruling. When consulting the written sources and the ancient literature, or even the roman itineraries, there is not even one written word in regard to the sites existence. Nevertheless, the settlement ancient occupation was evidenced due to the systematic research and investigations, carried out during the second part of the fifties and sixties of the past centuries. Archaeological excavations were carried in the eastern part of the settlement, whereas, a roman forum, horrea, urban basilica, features of the roman bath, details of auxiliary objects and the northern cemetery, were discovered. The discovered archaeological material, the overall results, clearly indicate and illustrate the fact that, the Municipium DD, primarily existed as a prehistoric settlement, continued to develop and change to become a typical ancient roman town during the period from the last decades of the 1st century, until the first part of the 4th century AD. The settlement had all characteristics of a roman town. The site stretches in approximately 30 hectares. 143 Ibër 144 Fig. 141. View of the Municipium DD. Fig.142.
