Sažetak
The Romanisation of southern Pannonia appears to have been a complex process including a variety of mutual relations between the autochthonous population with their own cultural expression and the newly arrived political-military-administrative order that ushered in a new civilisation. The continuity of material and spiritual autochthonous heritage thus had an important role in the process of Romanisation, and the autochthonous population was an important part of the ethnic corpus of the new province of Pannonia. Although the number of excavations is rather small at the moment, they nevertheless show that the autochthonous population of larger centres that emerged from the Late La Tène settlements was exposed to intensive Romanisation through the settling of Italic incomers and veterans, as well as through numerous imports ; all this introduced the legacy of the Roman way of living. Rural autochthonous communities for a long time preserved characteristics of their own material culture, accepting only selected features of the newly established Roman cultural patterns. All these complex relations created a new heritage that will continue to be enriched by foreign ethnic, cultural, religious and economic components, yet the name of that specific identity, Pannonian, that offered the strongest resistance to the mightiest power of its time, will remain preserved until the present day.
