ROMAN OUTPOSTS IN CROATIA
The Romans arrived on the Adriatic coast in the year 168 BC. We will explore the remains of the state known to them as Illyricum, which they inhabited until the fall of their empire in the 5th century AD. In addition to being fearless soldiers and sublime engineers, the Romans were hedonists. Here in Illyricum they enjoyed (OTIUM) a lavish lifestyle, building luxury villas located directly on the coast. These villas frequently included embellishments such as fish farms where they cultivated fish primarily for their personal use. The views from these homes remain as spectacular today as they were when they housed Roman dignitaries.

The Romans were not the only visitors to leave behind a tangible footprint. Our special guide, Marshal Marmont, the Duke of Ragusa will regale you with tales from the Napoleonic era as you engage in either cycling, hiking or off-roading on roads built specifically during this historic period, when Dalmatia was under French Authority.
