History
Roman
The town houses an archaeological site known as Vrelo Šarkamen, spanning an area of 25 hectares.[1] A Roman resident/memorial complex with a mausoleum on the slopes of Deli Jovan was built during the tetrarchy (early 4th century in Dacia Ripensis), of which today only ruins exist.[2] The complex was discovered by Dragoslav Srejović. The mausoleum is dated to 293–311,[1] and is dedicated to the mother of Emperor Maximinus Daia, who was born nearby.[3] Notable imperial gold jewelry has been found, including a golden ring of the Emperor's mother.[1]
