AQUA VIVA
(Petrijanec) Yugoslavia.
About
32 km to the E of Poetovio. In Julio-Claudian times this
post station lay in Pannonia Superior on the Rochade
road, which joined the main fortresses of Illyricum:
Carnuntum, Scarbantia, Poetovio, Siscia, Burnum. After
the creation of the Danube limes the road served merely
for communication between provinces. At Aqua Viva the
road was crossed by the highway running from Poetovio
to Mursa and on to Sirmium. There have been sporadic
finds: necropoleis, inscriptions, remains of buildings, a
rich cache of jewelry.
