Sažetak
Over the past few years the local government of the northern Adriatic city of Rijeka has worked systematically on developing the old town core. As it was known that a Roman period settlement (Tarsatica) had also been located in the area of the medieval town, legislation ensured that rescue archaeology was carried out prior to all construction work. The archaeological research was carried out by the Croatian Conservation Institute. Research was carried out in 2007 in the area of J. Klović Square (Trg J. Klovića) and yielded well preserved remains of a Late Roman period military command post (principia), the headquarters of the defensive system known as the Claustra Alpium Iuliarum. Research was conducted in 2009 and in 2010 in the area of Pul Vele crikve Square (Trg Pul Vele crikve), where the remains of a Roman public bath built in two phases, an Early Christian basilica decorated with multicoloured floor mosaics, Roman period city ramparts and a large Late Medieval cemetery were found. This research largely broadened previous insight into Roman period Tarsatica and in many aspects was surprising in the quantity of remains uncovered. Many difficulties surfaced during the archaeological research related to the organisation of work and the possibility of documentation that are characteristic for the urban setting in which the research was conducted.
