Siscian villa on the site „Mrcinište“- example of an economic production complex in the Pannonian suburb

Roman Siscia was one of the most important ancient towns in the province of Pannonia. It was a vibrant commercial centre trading in wheat, wool and other goods, but the economic context of its development is still not as researched as it should be. Understanding of economic activities is connected with research of suburban and rural areas, but unfortunately the ager of colonia Siscia is fragmentarily and insufficiently researched and only the limited research of city's suburban zones can provide some answers to questions about ancient Siscian's economic activities. By methods of interdisciplinary research and consolidation of all of the relevant data this paper will present a thesis on economic activities associated with animal husbandry and textile processing activities in ancient Siscia through a reevaluation of the Mrcinište site and defining the economic purpose of this large residential-economic complex in the Siscian suburban area.
