From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Viciano)

Viciana (Latin: Viziana - Vizianum) or Station Viciano was a Roman road station (mansio type)^[1] of unclear location, somewhere in Kosovo field.^[2]

History

Viciana was a stopping place for caravans that travelled the Lissus–Naissus route, one of the most important Roman roads. The route started from Lezha (Lissus) on the Adriatic coast, went through the Drin river valley, crossed through Dardania, and continued to Niš (Naissus).^[3]

The location is unclear. It has been theorized to have been somewhere in the Kosovo field or in the present-day city of Vushtrri or its surrounding areas.^[4] In addition, approximately 4 km south of Vushtrri, in the village of Pestovë, there are the archaeological ruins of the Roman villa known as Vila rustica, Pestova (archaeological site).^[1]^[5]^[6]^[7]

Viciano as a road station is recorded in the Tabula Peuntingeriana map, a medieval (15th century) map and copy of a 3rd-century Roman map showing this same itinerary. The road once passed near the ancient center of Municipium Ulpiana which connected it to other Roman towns, particularly mining centers rich in precious minerals.^[8]^{[better source needed]}
