Burnum

Burnum was a Roman Legionary fortress, later converted to a town [1]. It is located 2.5 km north of Kistanje, in inland Dalmatia, Croatia [1]. The remains include a principia, the amphitheatre, and the aqueduct [1]. Burnum dates from the middle of the reign of Augustus (27 BC-14 AD) [1]. Several Roman legions were located there in succession, and the first one was Legio XX Valeria Victrix from the beginning of the Great Illyrian Revolt in AD 6-9 [1]. After Legio XX moved to Germania Inferior in 9 AD, Legio XI took its place [1]. The military amphitheatre at Burnum is estimated to have been able to accommodate 6,000 spectators [1].
