Sažetak
Physical evidence of the Danube Limes road in Croatia are often described as scarce. What is believed is that that Roman road was built in the shortest way between the therein localities. However, due to latest archaeological discoveries and reinterpretation of certain old-ones, the distinguishment between Early and Late Roman, as well as military and civil sites in the area can today be made. With the use of Roman and latter itinerraries, findings and traces on the ground, mainly from Baranja territory, then archive and contemporary topography data and also the remains of regional milestones, a new view on the probable line of the Limes road and its relation to Danube sites in modern-day Republic of Croatia shall at present be introduced. While some of the Limes localities in the area seem to be built along the Roman magistral landroute, other could have been built only along the Danube water-way and act as end-points of mentioned road. Conclusively, author of this paper believes that a long section of branch-road, i. e. pathway, in the Country was by far mistakenly interpreted as a part of the main Limes road.
