February the 10th 2009 in Skradin the Tourist Board of the Town of Skradin and the International Research Center for Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages have presented the project „Antique roads in Croatia“.
In this project Tabula Peutingeriana, a Late Antique map, is transferred on the satellite photos, with all the sites and communications on the territory of modern Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The following project activities include a publication of a web site and a tourist guide with a map of all the sites and their brief popular descriptions.
The project is a base for the future scientific and tourism projects of archeological topography including Antique, Early Christian and Medieval layers.

The project is funded by the Ministry of Tourism, Republic of Croatia.

History
The International Research Centre for Late Antiquity and Middle Ages has been working as a research centre of the University of Zagreb since 1993 at several locations in Croatia: in the premises of the University of Zagreb in the town of Motovun, and at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb. The Centre’s organizational structure comprises the Director and the Council who develop the Centre’s program, its scholarly, research and publishing activities.

The IRC for Late Antiquity and Middle Ages was founded with two objectives in mind: first, to present the older Croatian heritage, until then relatively unknown in Europe and the rest of the world, to experts and broader public, and second, to make the Centre one of Europe’s central locations for research and scholarly activities by supporting large-scale international projects to be realized in Croatia that bring together the most renowned experts from all over the world. Given that in the first ten years of its existence the Centre has become one of the leading centres among similar specialized initiatives in Europe, its main objective has been accomplished.
