Pyrri

Pyrri was an ancient Roman settlement in the Roman province of Pannonia, situated along a major road connecting Poetovio (modern Ptuj, Slovenia) in the north to Siscia (modern Sisak, Croatia) in the south [1]. Archaeological evidence and scholarly research suggest the settlement's location corresponds to the present-day village of Komin in the Sveti Ivan Zelina area of Zagreb County, Croatia [1]. The settlement flourished between the 1st and 5th centuries AD, serving as a waypoint for travelers and merchants traversing the Roman road network in inland Pannonia [1]. While limited archaeological excavations have been conducted at the site, the identification of Pyrri contributes to understanding the distribution of Roman settlements and road infrastructure in the Zagreb region during antiquity [1].
