Roman Necropolis and Aqueduct Found in Belgrade, Serbia
Archaeologists have unearthed several Roman tombs and the remains of an aqueduct in the center of Belgrade, the Serbian capital.
The finds date to the period when the city was a settlement, known as Singidunum, within the Roman Empire.
"So far, we have discovered 14 Roman tombs from the third and fourth centuries," Milorad Ignjatović, an archaeologist at the Belgrade City Museum, told the Serbian website Sve o arheologiji ("All about archaeology").
The site has different styles of Roman tombs. "Two of the tombs have rectangular bases with arched vaults walled with bricks, while two others are made from bricks stacked in the form of a coffin," he said in comments translated from Serbian. "We have also discovered four stone sarcophagi, which were considered the most luxurious way to be buried in Roman times."
The excavations in the center of Belgrade have been going on since March, ahead of the construction of an underground parking garage.
The finds weren't a complete surprise; Roman tombs were unearthed nearby 40 years ago.
The latest excavations first turned up ruins of the bombings by Allied forces at the end of World War II, when the Nazi Germans had invaded and occupied what was then Yugoslavia, as well as the remains of an Ottoman Turkish settlement at the site from the 17th and 18th centuries.
But the Roman-era tombs started appearing in the excavations just a few weeks ago. "All our expectations came true," Ignjatović said.
Roman Singidunum
According to the city government of Belgrade, Singidunum was established at the site of an earlier Celtic town in the first century after the Roman defeat of hostile tribes in the area.
It then became one of the main settlements of the Roman province of Moesia, a frontier region south of the Danube River. Soldiers from at least two Roman legions were garrisoned there to protect it and the nearby lands from "barbarian" invasions by Dacians, Dardanians, Scordisci and other hostile tribes.
The emperor Hadrian, who ruled from A.D. 117 to 138, granted Singidunum city status and made its inhabitants Roman citizens, and the emperor Jovian, who ruled from 363 to 364, was born there in 331.
Singidunum then became a center for Roman Christianity in the region, and for a time it was part of the Eastern Roman Empire (also known as the Byzantine Empire). But it fell in 441 to an invasion of the Huns, who burned it to the ground and enslaved its inhabitants.
While archaeologists at the site suspected they would find tombs, they were not expecting the remains of a Roman aqueduct.

Just read a new interview with presumably Bojan, in light of playing at Špancirfest on August 22nd (aka the day I lose all my wits)
So quick eng translation of the most important bits:
~ We're great. We just came back from intense recording of a new single in the studio where we totally isolated ourselves from the world and simply enjoyed the music. We had to rest from the UK tour and now we've gathered new energy for all the performances that follow.
~ That's right, we just recorded a new single which will be released in September with a music video, and after that we have a sold out Nordic tour (NOR, SWE, FIN) and our biggest concert so far in Arena Stožice in Ljubljana for 12 000 people, which has been sold out for a couple of months now. We have a European tour planned for the fall, and at the beginning of 2024 we'll start recording our third album.
~ This will be the first time we play as an opening act for such world legends as Franz Ferdinand. They're one of the main authors of the modern British sound in which we often find ourselves musically, and that's why it's a great honor for us to share the stage with them.
~ It's hard to say which were our favorite concerts, but certainly our top concerts were the ones accompanying the release of our 1st album in the twice-sold-out Cvetličarna in Ljubljana, then the release of our 2nd album in the sold-out Križanke in Ljubljana and the performance at this year's Beerfest in Belgrade, where we felt as if we're playing at Glastonbury.
~ As musicians, we hope we can create and play our music live no matter where in the world we are and to not have to worry about surviving next month.
~ Dear fans, enjoy the summer, love each other and never forget to carpe every diem!
#joker out#bojan cvjeticanin#jan peteh#nace jordan#jure macek#kris gustin#15th of September will be the day I die#new single new video#+käärijä#assuming of course I survive August 22nd#hope they really did enjoy themselves in the studio and recovered properly#also sure doesn't hurt his image of Belgrade as one of top concerts that he got to fangirl over his bf(f) there

At least eight children and a security guard were killed Wednesday morning in a shooting at an elementary school in Vračar, a Belgrade suburb, the Serbian interior ministry said in a statement.
Six children and one teacher were also injured in the attack, the statement said, adding that police had arrested a suspect, born in 2009, in the schoolyard.
Mass shootings are rare in Europe — unlike in the U.S., where gun violence is a politically divisive issue lawmakers have long struggled to address.
Among the most recent mass shootings on the Continent was an attack at a secondary school near Stuttgart, Germany, in 2009 in which a teenage gunman killed 15 people.
Serbia has the third highest rate of civilian firearms holdings in the world — tied with Montenegro, but far behind the U.S. and Yemen — with 39.1 firearms per 100 residents, according to the Small Arms Survey, published in 2018.

If you could trade Belgrade for another Balkan city, which one would you choose. Or should Belgrade stay in Serbia?
I have not been to any other Balkan capitals but I do NOT want Belgrade in my country so I'd trade it for anything.
#on paper at least I'd sooner live in New York than Belgrade#at least I'd have a shot of running into cast of SVU

Serbian police arrested seven smugglers and found over 700 migrants
On Friday, Serbian police reported seven arrests on suspicion of smuggling people into Hungary amid a crackdown on illegal migration sparked by a shooting last week that left three migrants dead and one wounded.
Shootings and violence close to the Serbian-Hungarian border appear to have become commonplace. Thousands of people camped out in the area, looking for ways to cross the border with the help of smugglers.
Police officials reported on Friday they had made arrests in both Belgrade and Subotica, a town near the Hungarian border. Migrants pay 2,350 euros ($2,500) to cross the country.
Police launched daily raids in the forested area after a shooting near the border town of Horgos last Saturday. On Thursday night, police reported finding a total of 738 migrants, some near the border with Hungary and others in a town near the Bulgarian border.
