Neviodunum, Archaeological site in Drnovo, Slovenia.

Neviodunum is a Roman settlement in Drnovo that stretches along a dry tributary of the Sava River. The excavations reveal ceramic workshops, pipe factories, large warehouses, and remains of a port that once handled trade goods.

Rome settled the area in 35 BC after annexing the Celtic Latobici through trade, diplomacy and military force. The settlement began as a military post before passing to civil administration. In 70 AD the emperor Vespasian granted it municipal rights, making it Municipium Flavium Latobicorum Neviodunum. Its position on the road and river route between Siscia (Sisak) and Emona (Ljubljana) made it a port and trading centre.

The remains here reveal how Roman people lived and worked in this settlement. Foundations of houses, workshops, and baths show the daily patterns of this ancient community.

The excavation site is walkable with different areas that are easy to identify. It is best visited in dry weather to see the structures clearly and move safely across the ground.

Among the finds are house-shaped urns, often topped with a rooster on the roof, which show the influence of Celtic beliefs on the Roman town's burial customs. Stone columns and building floor plans remain in the open on the edge of Drnovo, while most finds are kept in Slovenian museums.
