New Discoveries at Upliana Ancient City

A general overview captures the ambience of the historic Kosovar Ancient City of Ulpiana, also recognized as the Archaeological Park. Situated approximately 14 kilometres south of Kosovo's capital, Prishtina, on the western periphery of Gracanica's outskirts on Friday, Aug 25, 2023.
The scene resonates with the recent revelations. Notably, the unearthing of an inscription confirming Emperor Justinian's (527-565 AD) and Theodora's dedication of an "urbs Dardaniae". This inscription's rarity acquires enhanced significance, representing a scarce instance of a Latin dedication by the imperial duo during the concluding era of the Roman Empire.
